¿Por qué no Ø?
Is anyone aware of a part 90 type accepted HF radio that will do ALE (MIL-STD 188-141B or C) without the pricetag of a Harris, Barrett or Thales radio? We'd love some of these, but our agency has a tiny budget and is staffed almost entirely by volunteers.
I've seen posts about the Kenwood TK-90, and it looks affordable, but it isn't certified for part 90, so it isn't available in the US. I know several marine SSB radios are part 90 type accepted, but I haven't see one with ALE. Does anyone know of something like this that we might be able to buy (even used) and add an option card for ALE?
When I spoke to our local radio shop, they had no idea about HF radios at all, and my my experience with ALE ends with my amateur radio use of PC-ALE, which isn't really practical in the field.
