[Premium-Rx] Restricted WJ receiver for sale

[Terry O']

I've decided to part with a very high end and still classified modern 
Watkins-Johnson receiver.  DRS Technologies informed me I cannot post or 
discuss via e-mail any details including the model number because the 
internet has no geographical boundaries.  They requested the serial 
number and verified the radio is legal for private ownership (as long as 
you keep mum about it.)  These restrictions limit discussion to in 
person, snail-mail or telephone calls from US exchanges.  A data sheet 
can be found at Kongsford (he told me he'll leave it up until someone 
knocks on the door.  I follow the rules exactly because my research and 
my ability to publish depend on it.)

The asking price is small fraction of the original $200,000 price tag.  
The radio is near mint and in excellent operational condition.  It 
includes cables for co-located operation and a full, fat printed service 
and operation manual.  This is a radio with knobs and buttons that can 
be easily operated without a computer, although I assume the computer 
control can take it to another level.  The computer interface is 
untested as software is, to my knowledge, unavailable to mere mortals 
like me.

This item is for sale only in the US.  Legally it can be shipped to any 
allied NATO country, but I don't want the hassle and risks of exporting 
it.  My sources tell me a few years after this radio was introduced, a 
non-NATO country offered a $1 million bounty to anyone who could smuggle 
one to them.  If you are a high end radio enthusiast, you will want one 
almost as badly.
