Description
You are bidding on a US Command equipment BC-442-A. This is an antenna changeover relay, meter, thermocouple and vacuum capacitor, plus four shock-mounts. It was originally designed to handle the RF output of a pair of 1625 tubes / valves, perhaps up to 75 Watt.
The meter is linear and scaled 0 to 10; it is not calibrated. In its original application, it was designed to work into a short antenna. When adjusting the transmitter coupling and loading controls, you aimed for maximum antenna current.
The 5-way connector carries the Push-To-Transmit signal from the modulator, whether BC-456, MD-7 / ARC-5 or your own transceiver. As an extra, I can supply a 5-way cable connector.
This is a late WWII model made by Western Electric - see photos.
All original equipment manufactured components are present, except that the end-plates supporting the vacuum capacitor are after-market.

You can
- use it for your original Command radio set-up
- use it as is in any other communications set-up where your transmitter and receiver are separate items
- modify it to use other RF connectors, such as BNC , SO-239 or N-type
- add it to your collection of WWII memorabilia.

You must ask me to quote the shipping charge; why?
- There are often differences between what Australia Post's and other carriers' online calculators show, and what they actually charge. Generally, Australia Post uses the quickest delivery method, such as one of the more expensive Air Mail modes.
- Australia Post calculates postage based on the weight and dimensions I have given. Sendle calculates postage based on the same weight and dimensions.
- If you win several items, I will bundle them to get you the most economical shipping charge.
- If you want me to provide a cable connector, there will be no increase in shipping cost.
- Australia Post includes insurance up to AU$100, Sendle includes insurance up to AU$300; both include tracking as part of the carriage charge. Some carriers include neither insurance nor tracking. If the total transaction including shipping exceeds AU$100 and you choose Australia Post as your carrier, you will require extra insurance cover. So, you must ask me to quote you for such additional delivery services as tracking, signature on receipt or a different level of insurance cover.
- If you are outside Australia and choose a carrier other than Australia Post, I will include tracking and add it as a charge.
