[MRCA] AN/GRC-106A's FT/FS

[Richard Arland, K7SZ]

Looking this stuff over I now wish I would have waited to buy my T-T Paragon 
station (which I am now selling after owing it for 8 mnths!).

Nice gear, Patrick. Especially the last two shots. Looks almost brand new! 
(Now, if I could just find a Mutt and some antennas......)
