[Milsurplus] FT-346 mount

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

You're welcome.  And as I forgot to mention but Mike did, the receiver only 
mount allowed for a more space efficient installation of the receiver-only 
SCR-538.

I have several FT-237's, both in WW-II and in Korean War variants.  Contact 
me off-list (but later tonight as I have to get off of here and start 
processing my wife's pitiful eBay sales).
