Group,

Over the years, I've heard of several cases where people bought CU-32's and 
upon arrival found parts of the antenna relay assembly broken (vacuum switch 
and/or ceramic parts).  Of course that doesn't say much good about how well the 
thing would have survived a flak near miss but that's another story.  I 
thought I was out of the units and parts but Saturday found another box in my seldom 
visited storage building with two complete in it.  And of course, the vacuum 
switch  in the transmitter (same flak comment applies) I still have plenty of.
