[MRCA] SCR-284 SSB/CW Receive - was BC-342 and end of displays

[Tim]

Hi Guys -
My SCR-284 receives SSB just fine in the CW mode as Robert described.  It
can also receive/monitor CW and SSB all day without the PE-103 running -
just set the R/T Standby Switch to "OFF" while doing this.

I've worked cross-mode with it many times, clumsy but certainly workable...
