I knew that they resurrected them for that endeavor.
All of the Harris and other SS receivers couldn't deal with the *sand*.
Those whom may not already know, the *sand* there is actually more like
talcum powder! Once you get off the plane, you have a gritty feel in
your mouth and throat!
It is so fine that even when I stayed in a BOQ, it would blow in around
the windows, the door, and the A/C!
That is why pallet loads were resurrected from a warehouse and sent over.
That neon bulb in the antenna switch protected them from all the darn
static that the *sand* would cause!
Some don't believe it still!
I find the added Jackson style reduction ball bearing assembly interesting!
I'm not sure what control it is added to.
Curious!
Still out of my price league!
