Receiving morse code from Aircraft track navigational beacons, it approximated position but not direction. Operating at a frequency of 200-400 kHz, it was also used in WW2 warbirds including the P51 Mustang and the DC-3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring WW2, the BC-1206 was made by several manufacturers including Setchell Carson Inc. and the Detrola Corporation. I think this particular version was made by the latter, Detrola, of Detroit, Michigan, a radio manufacturer founded in 1931 and bought by Motorola in 1948.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease click on the following link for more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mullardantiques.co.uk\/collections\/aircraft-collectibles-aviation-aeronautica\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eaircraft collectibles.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Detrola","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56772315382135,"sku":null,"price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0303\/5122\/8972\/products\/WW2_U.S_Signal_Corps_One_Radio_Range_Beacon_Receiver_BC1206B_New_Old_Stock.jpg?v=1729784048","url":"https:\/\/mullardantiques.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/ww2-u-s-signal-corps-one-radio-range-beacon-receiver-bc1206b-new-old-stock","provider":"Mullard Antiques and Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
