[Boatanchors] TMC GPR-90 - info request

[Bob Peters]

I have a GPR-90 which is my pride and Joy. It is a pleasure to operate. 
Sounds good looks good. Can be seen at www.w1pe.com  ...Performance wise

My SX-101 was better. But Hali verses TMC... Not hard to choose  HI  !!!
I use it daily on AM.  Do a lot of SWLing with it as well...

Uh, if it was GIVEN to him, couldn't he just GIVE it to someone else who
could
restore and make use of it?
