[Milsurplus] FS: modified ARC-5 tx

Thu, 30 Jan 2003 22:32:35 -0800

Hi Jack,
        Hope all is well in Nevada, even with the Mountain Caves 
project near Vegas progressing.... ;-( Anyhow, what are the modes 
and bands covered by this rig? sounds like one of the series that
were reworked at Umatilla Army Depot here in Oregon.... as noted
in the personal notes of a SK MARS member who worked there 
for 40 years before retiring 10 years ago. Can you try powering it up
and testing it? I am hopeful it will do MARS frequencies w/o any
trouble...
