[Racal] VLF version of RA6790/GM

[DAVEINBHAM at aol.com]

Fellow Racal drivers,

The radio in question ( R2174B(P) URR  ) does, indeed, appear to be the VLF 
version. 
However, if you look at the photos of some of his dozen or so other 
RA6790/GM's, you will spot something in the position normally occupied by the ISB 
option. And it is NOT an ISB card. At least it does not look like the ISB card in 
one of my RA6790/GM's.

I have been told that many of the last of the R2174A(P) URR's came equipped 
with the VLF modification. Do you suppose these are VLF capable also ?
Anyone know for sure ?

Kindest regard,
Dave

...and just so you guys know: THIS is certainly an acceptable notice 
on "my" reflectors. I don't want a bunch of ebay FS emails... but if 
it's relevant, and is not repeated more than once a week, I don't 
mind even that. I judge things like THAT (and hence THIS) by whether 
or not ** I ** would want to know about a given 'something relevant'. 
If anyone feels strongly different, let me know, and we'll talk about it.

I THINK this is the link for the one Gordon was talking about. If so, 
it's pricey, but if I had the $$$ I'd probably bid on it 'cuz I'd 
love to have one of the LF versions. Since I don't, it's a moot 
point, but I figured you guys might like to see it.
