As for your BC-312M here's a bit of info:

Covers the freq. range 1.5-18 MHz and was used in tanks during WWII and
maybe into the Korean Conflict era although the BC-603 another poster had
asked about was also used until the RT-66, -67, -68 was issued. IF freq. of
470KHz. Has 9 tubes. Uses a dynamotor power supply running from 12VDC
-that is if it hasn't been converted to 115VAC mains power by a previous
owner. The Dynomotor is designated as DM-21. An "X" version, i.e., with a
number BC-312-M-X for example, runs off 24 VDC. I have a BC-342 in my
collection which is essentially identical except for its being built for
115VAC and typically used in ground-based fixed locations.

My 342 is a fairly hot receiver when hooked up to a decent-length longwire
antenna. Good for SWLing.

Regards,  Chris
