[ARC5] [Milsurplus] SCR-183 / SCR-283 Info

[mac]

All,

I can provide an interesting 30 minute DVD of Hank Brown's lecture  on  
the SCR 182/283 at the 2009 MRCG meeting.  The video concludes with a  
live, on the air  demonstration.
Five bucks post-paid which just covers my production and mailing costs.
