[Boatanchors] Working RAK and RAL to be Re-Homed

[Ian Wilson]

I have a spare dB meter in reasonable cosmetic shape. The needle moves
freely but I have never tested it electrically (happy to do so if
requested).

I don't know whether the output meters for the RAK and RAL are the same.
I can look for the part number if necessary.

Yours for postage plus a small latte.

73, ian K3IMW
