At least, all ham bands that could be found within the 200 to 600 kHz and 1500 to 18100 kHz coverage of the BC-348 (aka AN/ARR-11). This was the best military MF/HF aircraft receiver in the world from 1936 to a few years post-WWII. I have ten of the various models of the BC-348 in original military (un-ham hacked) condition. My BC-348-P goes with my BC-375-E transmitter to make the SCR-287-A MF/HF aircraft radio set. My BC-348-R goes with my T-47A/ART-13 transmitter to make the AN/ARC-8 MF/HF aircraft radio set. This last combo was still in service on some older USAF aircraft as late as 1971! I doubt *many* Elecrafters remember these sets, but vintage military gear, always in its original military configuration, still resides at KK5F. One can't as easily appreciate the advances made with modern gear like the KX3 without knowing some of the past. 73, Mike / KK5F ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
