[MRCA] Ident of MIL crystal kit

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

The SCR-619 uses the CS-137 double-decker box.  I think what you may have, 
based on the small size, is one of the two crystal storage boxes out of the back 
of the BC-620.  A full set for the BC-620 is 80 (for the BC-659 or BC-1335 
it's 120).  So 40 in each box, less the two plugged into the radio.  Why your 
box would have two sets of 20 channels I haven't a clue.

Thibault is looking for a pair of the boxes for a BC-620 he is restoring.
