Todd,

I've been to a lot of HossTraders (in fact every one) and all the
NEARFests and there has really been very little worthwhile mil or late
model test equipment there in the last decade.

Yes, there are some beat up ARC-5s and other things but I've been
disappointed most times.

Last spring I got a BC-442-A and a C-26/ARC-5 (both about a 7 or 8/10).
Slim pickin's.

FWIW,

-John
