Speaking of fish boat conversions of mil radios
I’ll repeat a question I’ve asked from time to time but received no answers or substantive clues.
I grew up in commercial fishing, my fathers trade. I started working on deck at age 11 in and skippered my first boat in 1967 at age 17. I worked my way though several college degrees commercial fishing during summer breaks.
During the 60s the primary fishing boat comms were done on 2-3 MHz AM. Somebody was converting SCR 269 (BC 433 rcvr) ADF systems to operate in the marine band. The control box was beautifully modified worn a newly manufactured tuning dial that had the marine band on it. Jack Antonio very kindly gave me on of those bodices BC .433 Co control boxes which exactly matched what I saw as a kid.
Who did these very professional conversions? I saw quite a few of them in the 1960s.
Thanks and 73
