[Milsurplus] [MRCA] BC-611 Operational Question

[Ray Fantini]

Not an expert or anything like that, think Breck Smith (K4CHE) did a lot of research back in the day on the subject. Never been a big fan of the 611, always thought it was overcomplicated in design, and never used near as much as Hollywood implies. Can see it netting with things like the SCR-284 but not much else. But that's just me and as OP indicated he did not want this devolving into discussion of the 611.

I thought the gliders had a BC-721 or something. I have one. I know it is probably nearly identical to the BC-611, but for accuracy...

the BC-611 transceiver was the core component of the SCR-585 Signal Corps Radio set for CG-4A Gliders.
