[Milsurplus] HRO variants

[Meir WF2U]

Let's not forget the Australian Kingsley AR7 which was made for the RAAF:

I have one of these puppies and it's a nice receiver. This model is unique
with its stainless steel, stamped front panel. Mechanically, the coil drawer
has no locks like the original HRO.

Otherwise it's built very well.
