[ARC5] Really tricked out BC-453-B on eBay

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi,

I wonder if that was some sort of a sophisticated "Q5er" [project with 
maybe a transceiver scheme added. I have two BC-453 and two R023 
receivers that are 'modestly' modified. I have used one as a 'Q5er' 
several times but modications are not required ofr that (not at all 
really). Mine had the modest mods already in place when I got them and I 
did clean up two of them that were "messy".

73,

Bill  KU8H
