• Remarques

• Radio Receiver BC-224-(*) (Generic model - search also for model variants with different suffixes): Aircraft receiver covering medium - and shortwaves in six bands, modes AM (A3) and CW (A1, with BFO) powered by 14 V DC from aircraft on-board power system.

  The first BC-224-A receiver was constructed by RCA

  Based on U.S.Air Force receiver experience with this receiver, an improved model was produced with suffixes BC-224-B, BC-224-C, BC-224-D. RCA then started to produce a 28V DC version of this receiver which became the BC-348-B, the first receiver in the very successful series of BC-348 receivers.

  Then the U.S.Signal Corps had the demand to incorporate the 200 - 500 KHz longwave band (used in the U.S. for beacons, not for communications) in the receiver and to compress the 1,5 - 18 MHz tuning range in the remaining five bands,  this receiver became the BC-224-E, followed by receivers with higher suffix numbers. In those, frequency coverage was similar, in the BC-224-F (and -K), the output tube was changed to the 6K6. The 28V DC equivalent of the receivers covering the longwave / beacon band was the BC-348-E and higher suffix letters.

  The receivers saw use in bomber aircraft from World War II until Corean War, it is reported that one of these receiver was onboard the "Enola Gay" at it's 6. Aug. 1945 mission.
