check devilfinder.com (as a guy named cuhulin likes to say) ;-)

There was a BC348 cult. Is this related gear?

Well, I *didn't* go to devilfinder, so not quite sure what a BC-344 is,
but I am familiar with a BC-348 and as a matter of fact own one.

It is a WWII aircraft receiver, 200-500 kc/s and 1.5 to 18 mc/s, single
conversion, BFO, crystal filter. It was my dad's receiver and he gave it
to me along with an Elmac transmitter when I got my Novice ticket (and a
good reason for him to get a new rig--we drove to Benton Harbor and he
got a brand new Heath Mohawk and Apache rig--but that's another story). :-)

Apparently it was quite a popular receiver and relatively inexpensive in
the decade after the war, lots of "conversion" and modification ham
magazine articles, but I'm not sure about "cult".
