Hey, congrats Michael - it's a wonderful little receiver in a compact
(but very dense) package. I often haul mine to hamfests and other
events to set up on the tailgate for casual listening. It always draws
a crowd and offers to buy.

Keep your eyes peeled online for a clunker with the mount, they do
show up from time to time with rough electronic decks, but
complete/restorable cabinets with mounts. Also, the CW-206 accessory
bags have been showing up a lot lately, apparently through surplus
auctions as most are NOS. The actual radio covers show up too, though
not as often.
