[Boatanchors] What is a WRR-10

[George Morton]

Yes - It was used for countermeasures receiver by our subs to detect enemy 
emmissions. (see book: BLIND MAN'S BLUFF)  I was on the USS SKIPJACK, SSN 
585 among others.  While it really covers the band (DC to visbible light) it 
is way too heavy to be useful for ham use.  The other problem from the Ham 
perspective is then to get the antenna package.  I'd reccommend  passing on 
it and saving your money for something more useful for ham use.  While it is 
a beautiful piece of equipment, it truly is a white elephant.
Brgds, Geo
