[Milsurplus] Chinese 102/139 set

[Hubert Miller]

That may be a factor, a simple lack of supply of affordable HF equipment. 
For me, maybe others, the gear harkened back to an earlier time, say, maybe like the era 1945-1960.

Is this concern for Chinese surplus the result of the lack of military radio surplus in the US?  

In exchanges with fellow list members, it appears that just about all US military electronic surplus now has a DMIL D requirement.  I suspect that even the remaining R-390A now have that requirement, along with every other other piece of vacuum tube based military electronics.  

So I guess that only the equipment that is already in the hands of the public is all that will ever exist as US military surplus radios?
Comments?
