[Milsurplus] radar help

Hi Robert,

OK. The SPA-1 is a Countermeasures unit for sure.

I would dearly like to find a clean APA-1, but would settle for an SPA-1.

It's by no means clear which PPI the OP was interested in, though.

BTW, I just posted your manual offer to the Vintage-Military-RADAR Yahoo
Group.

Best,

-John
