Must run in the family. We had two racks of Harris gear used for FNARS
at the EOC for years, there was always a receiver or some other piece
of gear out of the racks for repair. Worked great, when it worked.

I recall picking up a small pot with a 2-3" shaft in a plastic bag,
looked like a $5 - $10 part on a good day. Was told to be careful with
it as Harris charged over $100 for it. Always chalked it up to gov't
contracts, but it seems the same goes with all their gear!
