In
the Red Army such radios were called "SCR-284-A". An
original of the "Temporary Instruction
for SCR-284-A Radio" in Russian
language may be seen to the right of the radio. Those interested in
the content of the "Temporary Instruction..." are advised
to download a
scanned copy of the document (Adobe Acrobat, 5 MB).
WHD
= 457 х 355 х 248 mm, weight - 21.6 kg. Some accessories used with
BC-654-A radio are on display in the adjacent cell of this
showcase.
Because
of the lack of space in the showcase, the front cover of our BC-654-A
was separated and placed just behind the radio. There is J-48-A key
visible which was firmly attached to radio's front cover.
