[MRCA] BC-611 Operational Question

[scottjohnson1 at cox.net]

I would compare it to the 7 transistor 50mW Lafayette CB walkie talkies I
had as a child W/R/T performance.

BTW, wasn't the Glider BC-611 a BC-721?

Not an expert or anything like that, think Breck Smith (K4CHE) did a lot of
research back in the day on the subject. Never been a big fan of the 611,
always thought it was overcomplicated in design, and never used near as much
as Hollywood implies. Can see it netting with things like the SCR-284 but
not much else. But that's just me and as OP indicated he did not want this
devolving into discussion of the 611.

I thought the gliders had a BC-721 or something. I have one. I know it is
probably nearly identical to the BC-611, but for accuracy.

the BC-611 transceiver was the core component of the SCR-585 Signal Corps
Radio set for CG-4A Gliders.
