[Milsurplus] Getting an AN/SRR-11...what do I do with it now?

[Howard L Ritter, Jr]

MIke--

Funny you should mention eBay. I was following the auction of an SRR-11
before this thread emerged, because I had become intrigued with this line of
equipment about 3 years ago when I read about in in Osterman. 30 minutes ago
I submitted the successful bid on it (item 1362098409). It looks like a
relative peach of a unit and I am looking forward to getting my hands on it.

Any words of advice? Anyone out there have an SRR-12 or -13 for sale?
