What is bc-610?

The BC-610 is a radio transmitter-receiver system that was used during World War II and the Korean War. It was designed and manufactured by the Collins Radio Company, and was primarily used for military communications.

The BC-610 was well-known for its durability and reliability in extreme conditions, and was a popular choice for field and mobile use. It was capable of transmitting voice and Morse code, and had a frequency range of 2 to 20 megahertz.

The system consisted of a main unit, which housed the transmitter and receiver, and a separate power unit that provided the necessary voltage and current. The main unit weighed about 80 pounds, while the power unit weighed about 44 pounds.

After the war, many surplus BC-610 units were sold and became popular among amateur radio operators and radio enthusiasts. Today, they are highly prized by collectors and are considered a classic piece of vintage radio equipment.
