[AMRadio] Best Boatanchor

[Bob Maser]

You get the biggest rush buying boat anchors that you used to have back in 
the day.  Why would anyone want to spend a lot of money for a rig that has 
no nostalgic value?  If you want to buy a HQ-107A,  I have a friend in TX 
that has one that he bought and is tired of,  $300 and it's yours.  The real 
neat boat anchor receiver is the HRO 60 with its draws for bandswitching.
