If you're looking for a static display, you can expect to spend $150 or so on the BC-611 shell alone. If you want a working unit, you can expect to spend $350-400 for an untested unit (batteries not included). You will need a General or above radio license to operate on the 80meter band. It's harder to find BC-611's setup with crystal, coils for 3.6-4.0MHz in this allowed band.
Ah these old era technological marvels, such great little piece of history, if it can be used now a days that is even great
I have a pair of BC-611 but no legal crystals for 80 m Ham band, 3885khz yes but slightly out of our boundaries in Finland,
I like your channel. Please continue to make videos!
A good book to read about the Galvin Mfg. Company and Motorola is called "The Founders Touch".
Thank you, nice video!
Actually Motorola was called Galvin mfg. co. back then, It only became Motorola in 1947.
Interesting ,didn't know that, thank you for the info!

Can you explain why I MUST know these things?? I'm a plumber....
Polish?
Well that was disappointing. I was expecting much longer range. On Hogan's heroes they were like communicating with subs and shit.
