[MRCA] PRC-71 Update

[B. Smith]

Well looks like I have the only PRC-71 HF unit(RT-778) that is 
"operational" in  the CONUS , perhaps the world.  :-)
Several years ago  at Dayton there was a stack of PRC-71 HF 
units(RT-778) that were  being sold and I purchased one and one half
( 1 and 1/2) units. Now my question is where did the other 15 units go? 
I don't think Fumeo JA3FTU scoffed them up etc.  (No offense Fumeo if 
you are reading this)  As far as I know Dennis has the complete PRC-71 
set of four covering HF to UHF.   Its a neat set/system , runs off 24 
volts internal or external batteries etc. Built in antenna tuner 
(manual), runs CW or SSB and uses Collins filters   Built very well and 
uses standard parts- - - - I had it on the M and S net frequency until 
we shifted frequencies. Since the set  only requires one rock it may 
become my next DDS VFO project as it will not require a relay or 
transistor switch to shift the injection frequencies from T to R.
