And there was me thinking that it was only the neighbours who were convinced
my gear was generating TVI when in fact it was off!

I believe that Version I and II are correct. Only the timeline may be
subject to query. There was quite a disdain for certain B/A's in the 40's
and 50's and they were, indeed, referred to as B/A's. In 1946, QST said
the BC-375 and 191 were useful for parts only and one would suffer a pink
ticket from the FCC seconds after it was put on the air. I also have one
surplus conversion manual that states of the BC-640 (a heavy-duty VHF
transmitter): "This unit will generate TVI even when turned off...". That
was then and now is now.... Yesterdays junk is today's treasured B/A.
And... don't even THINK about adding an S-meter to that BC-342...! Hi!!
