The BC-221 heterodyne frequency meter
Comprises a dual-range VFO, a crystal controlled 1MHz oscillator, a mixer and AF amplifier.
Ranges of the VFO fundamental are 125kHz to 250kHz and 2MHz to 4MHz.
Both oscillators generate outputs rich in harmonics so that the instrument can be used well above its maximum design frequency of 20MHz.

When complete with headphones, spares, tools and batteries, as originally supplied, the equipment was designated SCR-211-(&) where (&) was a one or two-letter suffix.

The BC-221 is housed in either black-wrinkle finished aluminium alloy or matt-olive wooden cabinet.
Wooden-cased models were supplied with a khaki clip-on canvas cover that attached to the case with press-studs; metal-cased models with a padded carrying bag.

Power was supplied either from batteries or a mains power supply in a lower compartment accessible from the rear of the cabinet. Models B and Q were supplied with a battery tray.
 

In the UK the majority of mains power supplies were manufactured separately for the Ministry of Aviation during WW2.

A spare crystal was kept on the chassis itself in many models.
Tools inc. one or two Bristo wrenches (Nos.6 and/ or 8)
These resemble Allen keys, but are fluted rather than flatted.

The control panel itself is covered when not in use by a hinged lid that contains the units Calibration Book.
Each BC-221 was individually calibrated and the calibration book marked with the serial number of the unit.
The serial number is given on a metal or bakelite plate on the control panel and on the control-panel lid of metal-cased models. It can sometimes also be found stamped in paint on the units chassis.

Some metal-cased models had an Antenna terminal on the left-rear of the top of the case.
All wooden-cased models have their Antenna and Ground terminals on the front panel.

Frequency Meter BC-221 Set SCR-211
Was designed to provide a simple, accurate, and reliable crystal calibrated frequency indicating equipment for use in both the laboratory and in the field.
Since it is completely portable and self-contained, it was particularly adaptable for adjusting aircraft radio transmitters and radio receivers to any desired frequency in the range from 125 to 20,000 kcs.

COMPONENTS.
Each Frequency Meter Set SCR-211, as furnished , consists of the following component units:

Frequency Meter BC-221; size over all; height 13.13”, width
10.13”, depth 9.44”;
Includes:

1 Frequency Meter BC-221 Chassis (wired)
1 Crystal Unit DC-9 (in operating position)
1 Calibration Book MC-177 (inside front door)
1 Wrench for Bristo 6 Set Screw (spare parts compartment)
1 Wrench for Bristo 8 Set Screw (spare parts compartment)
2 Sets of Vacuum Tubes (one set in service and one set in spare parts compartment)

Instruction Book for Frequency Meter Set SCR-211
Bag BG-81-D
