[Milsurplus] New Afghan Army using PRC-6's

[Bob Camp]

Hi

With the advent of frequency hopping radios most of the old fixed 
channel VHF stuff has been surplused by countries all over the world. 
That's dumped an awful lot of solid state gear on the world market at 
ridiculous prices.

I suspect that the cost of firing up a line to make PRC-6 battery 
substitutes would far outweigh the cost of buying a couple hundred 
solid state radios.

Of course there may be a factory somewhere in China churning out 
genuine PRC-6 batteries right now to go with a warehouse full of radios 
from Pakistan ....

	Take Care!
