I might just pack it full of batteries and do some side by side with an SDR just to give you an idea how good this beastie is – no waterfall obviously – but it’s really good!
And a shout out to Greg for parting with this classic, he ran across it and snagged it for me. Thanx Greg!
Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!
