[Milsurplus] UHF (& BC-357)

[Brad Latta]

Hi all,
            I too have an ARC-27 & a GRC-27. Collins certainly put a lot of effort into these radios. It's a shame so many of them get 'scrapped', they aren't in a very usable part of the band, as far as amateur radio is concerned, and Defence is sensitive to people being able to listen (& maybe transmit!) in their bandwidth.
            On another subject, into the VHF band, I have a BC-357-B here & was wondering if anyone has the BK-35 relay with bakelite mount in their scrapbox. Not a very usable radio, but I'd like to restore it.
                                                        Best Regards, 
                                                                                 Brad
