I came across one of these panadaptors. Its almost identical
to the Army version (BC-1032 ?), but this one has an IF
of 400 KC +/- 50KC. Does anyone have any idea what
receiver(s) it was used with? I'll probably try to convert
it to a 455KC IF so its usuable with receivers I have, but
before doing that I'd like to get some more info about it.
TIA.

The RBB and RBC use 400kHz for the IF, and they had optional outputs
for a panadaptor, so I'm fairly sure they were meant for each other.

I wouldn't modify it.

Thanks Allen. A couple of others told me the same
thing. As it turns out, the guy I got the panadaptor from
has an RBB receiver, so I'll try to get it too. Ever
notice how these beasts seem to multiply?!

I did modify the panadaptor to 455KHz, but its an
easy thing to reverse. If anyone is interested, change
the 100pF caps in the first two IF cans to 82 pF
and retune them. The 'reactor' coil needs to be
retuned to sweep the new center freq of 455KHz +/-50KHz.
