[Boatanchors] Hallicrafters FPM-300

[Whitebear1122]

Rob, That seems to be general consensus, ‘run’.  :)   After hearing that FPM-300 on the 75m net yesterday I was just curious about it.  I am near the end of a major (!) radio selloff where I’ve sold over 85% of my radios over the past 6 years and closing in on 90% next month, so I’m not in radio acquiring mode. Tnx for your comments.  73, Scott WA9WFA
