[Milsurplus] ARC 1

[kgordon2006]

Yes. You are correct, Charlie. And 99% of them never heard of CW or SSB on 2 meters, let alone AM.Sad...in a way.Ken W7EKBSent via the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone

It came with 10  crystals still in the holder  for the aviation freqs in the Jax area.  After I got it going, it was a treat to be able to switch between all the freqs and listen in, almost like having a scanner.  I ended up selling it, but now have another one complete with rack and control box, but have not got around to getting it going yet.  This one did not have any crystals, that will be an issue, but if you think there was no AM activity on 2 meters back then, the world today has 99% of 2 meter folks unaware the band goes below 146.52.Charlie, W4MEC
