[MRCA] The Radio Sets Were Humming...

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

No, no aircraft radio receiver of that period nor most of them (except for 
the Army's low-band VHF sets after about 1960) had any squelch circuit.  
They were all MF and/or HF AM/CW sets.  The "humming" referred to was obviously 
the receiver dynamotor(s).  Which in the 8th and 9th AF of the period would 
have only been in the BC-224, BC-348 or SCR-274-N receivers.
