[Milsurplus] Opinions on comm receivers ?

[Glenn Little WB4UIV]

The SRR-13 is a descent receiver.
It is modular with pencil tubes in sub modules.
Without the extender cable you can work on the radio by removing the 
back panel.
Draw backs are the projection screen and the band change lever arms do 
break.
The service manual is very complete, including coil winding data.
