Hi all -

I have one of these cute BC-1206 critters. It's a tiny beacon receiver
(200-400 Khz) made by Setchell Carlson (their Model 524). It runs on 28V and
was/is used by aircraft to hear beacons. I heard the Quakertown PA airport
beacon, UKT, on 208 Khz! Also some 60Hz harmonics - wow! (There is a whole
radio subculture devoted to logging these NDBs - non-directional beacons.)

I'm looking for a manual for this radio. I did find an online schematic but,
while better than nothing, it was not very readable. A good copy is OK. Will
gladly reimburse and/or pay a reasonable price for the manual. Thanks for
any help!

73,
