[Milsurplus] [milsurplus] AN/BRR-3

[David Edsall]

Mike and the group,

You mentioned the AN/BRR-3 VLF receiver used on subs.
I had one of these back in the 1980s, got it at a military auction at one of
the facilities in the Baltimore-Washington area.
I let it go when I moved to Mass., and sorry I am about that.
I may still have the manual for it.
Like the AN/WRR-3 it was a nice package.
Does anyone else on the list have one?
Best 73,
David W1TDD
