Saw the BC321. Don't have any experience with that version of the radio. I do have a BC348 in the basement that I inherited from a buddy 30-plus years ago. He was lightening his load before moving to California. Looked like a fun retirement project. But decades later I have no plans to retire. Should probably unload it some day.

Fixed a handful of BC348 radios in the 80s for local hams, but haven't looked inside one since then. My wife gets amused when a WW2 movie takes place in a B17 or B24. She really doesn't care if they dressed the set with the right liason radio or not, but I'll point it out anyway. A restored B24 visited our local general-aviation airport a few years back. Got to walk through it and they not only had the right liaison receiver, but all the original AAF manuals next to it. Very cool!

Good luck with yours. It's a good AM receiver, but not so swift for CW and sideband.
