Technical documentation

Development

In 1936, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) developed the BC-224, an aircraft receiver that covered the shortwave range in six bands and was powered by an on-board voltage of 14V.

In 1939, the BC-314 was released as a set covering four VLF / medium wave bands, while the BC-344 was the mains voltage version.
