[Milsurplus] King KMC 95 Transceiver

[boeing377 at gmail.com]

I have no direct experience with the KMC 95 HF transceiver but some of my
colleagues in commercial fishing bought them and ended up hating them. Same
with the HF that Texas Instruments made for marine use. They were just not
reliable radios. Could be that they had inadequate corrosion protection.
Salt air and radios don’t play well together long term.
