[Milsurplus] parting rigs

[Dr. William J. Schmidt, II]

I think you are off a bit.  Parting out radios is usually a manifestation of 
individuals that either cant figure out what the device does or do not want 
to take the time to learn.  It is quite prevalent in ham radio.

Sincerely,

Dr. William J. Schmidt, II  K9HZ
Trustee of the North American QRO - Central Division Club - K9ZC
