I was hoping to latch onto a few of these  at my college through a 
federal surplus program.  Unfortunately the  federal agency declared them 
"HIGH RISK" and says they should not be  released to the public.

------------------
I wonder sometimes how they dream up these  classifications on gear that's 
getting on for 40 years old, especially  when a Winradio 315, as just one 
example, occupies a fraction of the space and  is available to anyone.

The UK Export Control Order 2008 is another fine example, in one  instance 
there were reports of some "job's worth" requiring copious  paperwork before 
allowing shipment of a spare part for a 60 year old  Landrover.
 
Just to add to the sense of the ridiculous, a few days ago a very nice  
looking WJ 8615P and 9205 Signal Monitor combination, both with  manuals, was 
sold on EbayUK:-)
