Meter Frequency Type BC-221-M

This ubiquitous American item was used for calibrating wireless equipments. It is a 125kc/s to 20Mc/s heterodyne frequency meter, with an internal crystal calibrator, and individual calibration book for each unit. Basic accuracy is better than 0.034% over its operating temperature range. An HS-30 type headset, or similar, is required for operation. The units were supplied with one spare set of vacuum tubes inside.
The suffix M refers to manufacture by the Bendix Radio Corporation. The BC221 was far superior to the British Type W1191 wavemeter.
