Today was our bi yearly amateur radio fleamarket.

i also met a guy who had a icom r75 for sale and got talking to him about receivers and my mouth damn near hit the floor when he told me he has 2 collins r390 and 2 r390a's.i also asked if any were for sale but unfortunately the answer was no i then told him thats ok i understand and then told him i had a collins hf 2050 and then his jaw hit the ground and it wasnt for sale either

I like the clock and the D104.
I do not have a need for the amplifier, my daily driver amateur radio rig runs a little over 600 watts PEP output. There used to be a Collins collectors/users group net on 20 meters on Sunday IIRC. But I have been mostly off of the air since I became disabled and bought this house. Not really able to do much with antennas. Congratulations on your finds. |
