Default Ship/marine traffic HF radio (BC-221).


I used to think the little 221 was a real useless piece of test gear.

Wow! Was I ever wrong.

Those things are so easy to use. And damned accurate!

I have one next to my recently restored TBW xmtr.

Great tool to have around.

But I did have to replace a bunch of paper caps in mine.

I suspect it will outlast me by a long shot.
