[Milsurplus] AS-2259 Antenna Test and Notes

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I've been meaning to mention that I have two extra AS-2259/GR available, $125 
plus shipping.  Includes copy of the manual.  Does not include MX-9313/GR.  
I'm looking for an MX-9313 if anyone ever stumbles across one.  

FWIW, if you use the antenna with the RT-671/PRC-47 the antenna mounts 
directly to the radio and you don't need a separate matching unit unless you want to 
put the radio in a dugout with the antenna outside.  :-)
