[BC] RCA BTF B series transmitters...

[Burt I. Weiner]

Same tube and same design for the RCA BTF-B series of 
transmitters.  The B-series Amplifiers went to 2-Meters just by 
holding the tuning motor switch a little longer.  There were two 
paddles on the cathode line that could easily be moved to set their 
range by loosening two clamps on each one.
