I would be tickled to play with it, Bob!?
A survivalist/Prepper Group I am a member of is searching for an entry-level rig for Solar/Battery useage.? They have been pretty quick to get their Amateur Radio Operators' General Licenses from the jump, but are hesitant to buy into a near $1000 All-Band set-up...? A "Ham Shack" beginning with One of these sounds "Doable" to several of them, and they asked Me to investigate.
Wife and Daughter, both Hams, are hopeful I can revive the unit....
