I haven't bought a new radio in .....let me think, well it's been at least 25 years. Never bought a CCR so no problem there. I've bought some minor testing stuff new, but I'm for the most part good there now. Missing is a newer service monitor to replace my ancient Motorola, but that will be replaced by something not quite as old, but with more functions and hopefully with the name IFR on it. (although not against other brands). I know this is likely to affect peoples habits but, better hunker down, I guess it's gonna be a long ride. Just have to see what happens.
