[ARC5] VHF ARC-5 Receiver Value

[Tim]

Hi Mark  - There is an R-508 currently on the Fair Radio site for $55.
https://www.fairradio.com/catalog.php?mode=search&keywords=type+12&submit.x=0&submit.y=0

I bought several (R-19 labels) from Fair about 3 years ago -before they
were cool! - for $20 each if I recall.  So I'm with Dave on my hamfest
experiences as well. They are very under appreciated IMHO.  They work well,
don't require Ham-mering to be useful and they sound great (transmitters
too).
