[Boatanchors] Boatanchor receiver

Wed, 11 Feb 2004 13:12:09 -0500

Hello,

Get one of the Drakes.

They are a more modern design, work better, are easily maintained.
Filters, options, parts, manuals, are readily available, as is
service - and Drake is still in business.  And, they are a fraction
of the size and weight of your other choices.  Also, you can get
a matching transmitter, and a whole station worth of matching accessories.
(Station console, watt meter, antenna tuner, mics, etc.).
