[Boatanchors] Halli SX-88

Wed, 29 Jan 2003 16:42:19 -0500

Hi Gang,
     Speaking of Racal..... I just acquired an RA-17L  a few days ago, it is
missing the front panel Racal logo. Anyone have a spare??  By the way, what
a radio!! I'm surprised that there isn't more discussion about these fine
sets. It took a bit of getting used to but  once you do...  Thanks, Ross
