[Boatanchors] Very Interesting BA Listing on EchhBay

[J. Forster]

I am NOT a ham. I value and respect mil gear for what it is.

I really DO NOT think that 'converting' mil radios for ham use does
anything but degrade and destroy them, and makes them almost completely
valueless.

Most, if not all, of the conversions I've seen substitute hack engineering
for good design.

YMMV,
-John
