If I recall correctly each calibration manual was part and parcel of the
unit as they were hand calibrated and both shared the same serial number. www.fairradio.com has the mtce manual. -- 73 Hank WD5JFR wrote in message ... Hi all: Somebody knows where can be obtained the calibration book of of the BC-221? Thanks in advance REgards Heriberto LU6DBU |

Thanks Henry and Michael.-
I found a program to make the calibration book taking only some check points. - Thanks again Heriberto LU6DBU "Michael Black" escribió en el mensaje ample.net...

With a frequency counter, it would be really easy, just repetitive, to build up a calibration book.

Like everything else, you used to be able to buy blank calibration books at the surplus stores. Sixty years after WWII, I have no idea what kind of stock might remain. Michael VE2BVW |

There were some articles regarding BC-221 calibration
in the late 40s early 50s QSTs. Pete |
