Meat Pete. Sam's Want's Trade's. MSR-8000? Found! Winging It! Revised Backmail List ***************************************************** Dennis Thanks for the "second chance" on your invitation to the Military Radio group. I am interested. Sign me up. I read your statement of the groups intent and policies and I agree with your policies. I especially like the no "best offer crap" idea. I think that a group like this should have it's primary interest in the the collection and preservation of this great equipment not in making a profit off each other. I also share your interest in military vehicles. One of my goals is to get my GRC-19 setup on an appropriate vehicle. I'm interested in just about any "green" radio. I use all my equipment on the air so I want them all to be operational. I have a range of equipment from an ART-13, T-368, 3-R390A's, R-19, T-195/R392 etc. I saw in your post that you got some PRC-47's for the group, oh well you snooz you lose!. I look forward to getting involved. Please address all email to my home email address: peterada@mindspring.com My home address is : Peter Adams 4145 Creekwood DR. Cummming, GA 30131 Thanks again for the invite. If you have any questions or comments let me know.
