    The Belmont Radio Corp. did produce the variant BC-224-F with the output tube modified to a 6K6GT under contract 634-WFSCPD-42 and the technically identical variant BC-224-K also produced by Belmont Radio Corp.

    The included original power supply was the DM-24 dynamotor supply and the shock mount the matching FT-154-(*).

    Produced in even bigger numbers were the very successful 28V DC versions of this receivers, the BC-348 receiver series; from the BC-224 and BC-348 variants, a total of over 100'000 sets has been made.
