  • Precision crystal-calibrated heterodyne frequency meter for use with calibration book. Coverage 125 kHz to 20 MHz in two ranges. Contained 1 MHz crystal oscillator and variable frequency oscillator operating in two switched ranges: 125 to 250 kHz and 2 to 4 MHz. The 2nd, 4th and 8th harmonics of the low-frequency range were used to cover 250 kHz to 2 MHz, while the 2nd, 4th and 5th harmonics of the high-frequency range were used to cover 4 MHz to 20 MHz. Supplied with aluminum-alloy cabinet. Required six BA-2 batteries (22.5V each), four BA-23 batteries (1.5V each) and P-18 or P-20 headset. Minor differences with model BC-221-A, identical in all major respects to model BC-221-C.
