[MRCA] BC-654 coax

Hello Everybody,

      I've done more digging, and found out that some experimentation with modifying the BC-654 to use coaxial cable was done by the US Army Signal Corps in the very early 1950's, at the start of the Korean War.  The US Military was drastically short of radio equipment, and brought many of these WW2 sets back into service.  The attempt to modify the BC-654 was made to enable to make it more compatible with the newer antennas then being brought online by US Ground Forces.  The attempt to modify the BC-654 was found to be uneconomical and ended relatively quickly as new radios were brought online, and the US Army started using FM radios for most of  their tactical communications.
