[Milsurplus] Two TBY on eBay -

[Brenda Gentry]

Just how bad is the TBY with regard to frequency stability and receive 
sensitivity? Various publications decades ago gave the impression they 
were useless. There was a conversion to the transmitter to make it 
crystal controlled, but in general I have never heard anything good 
about it. One very real concern is radiation. The front panel has 
considerable area coated with Radium paint and the rigs are supposedly 
quite spicy.
