Oh my, what is this in? The slippery slope has already tripped me up and I'm about halfway down the slope LOL. I have boxes of radio room and cockpit items ready to set up once the radios are in that StepVan.______________________________________________________________On Wed, May 31, 2023 at 3:55 PM B.

Thank you, good info for a NOOB :-) So offering a working restored BC-224 with dynamotor for a working restored or original condition BC-348 with dynamotor might be a good trade or of interest to someone of the WWII radio persuasion? This BC-224 is a beauty, but I am trying to recreate the B-29 radio room in my mobile P-30 Bomber Step-Van (bread/UPS Truck). The BC-224 isn't exactly correct for a B-29 setup.

Much easier to remove the "modules". Also, arguably easier to recap. That said, the alignment variable caps on other than J, N, and Q models are more robust. The other than models are exhibiting split collars allowing the cap to short. The J, N, and Q models have non-shielded cans for Xtal filter and BFO. But, when any model works, it does work. Antenna trimmer? Your call.

I have a BC-224 just because its so weird in being twelve volt but otherwise appears the same as a 348, personally I prefer the later production run BC-348Q over the older design 224/348 although I think all were in production at the same time. Don’t think any of them are a good retirement investment. Collect what you like or find fun to use, once you get into perceived value things go downhill fast!

Subject: [MRCA] BC-224 vs BC-348
I have both, and was wondering if one or the other was more desirable from a collector standpoint. I plan to have both working eventually, the BC-224 in the shack and the BC-348 in a mobile environment, both teamed up with ART-13s.
Thanks,
