I have for sale an excellent Racal RA-6790/GM receiver.  This is a Gary
Wingerd (THE Racal guru) radio and it works perfectly.  The radio includes a
full service/operation manual, the hard to find RS-232 Racal external
connector, the rare RS-232 Board is installed, the rare Racal internal
pre-amp (+10 dB) is installed, latest Racal software proms installed (LF
version)... brand new displays, new knobs and all covers.  Has dedicated USB
and LSB filters (not one filter for both) and 5 mechanical filters 300 Hz, 1
kHz, 3.2 kHz, 6 kHz and 20 kHz.  USB/LSB/AM/FM.  Includes graphic computer
control software (Win 95 and up) that adds 200 memories and more.  Radio is
in a custom oak finished wood rack.

Not the perfect AM audiophile radio but the best for USB/LSB and digital
modes and spook chasing and utility listening.  That 1 Hz tuning in the
"slow" position makes this thing sound like a heathkit vfo warming up on a
signal <grin>.  Amazing accuracy and not $21,000 like the last version
purchased by the Gov't.

Asking $900 plus shipping.  If interested in the radio or pictures email me
direct.  I prefer pick-up (Milwaukee to Green Bay) but will ship at buyers
expense.  Only selling 'cause I neeed the space and cash for another radio
project... this isn't the only one I have.
