Guys

I have a Alinco wideband receiver that I no longer use. Would like to sell it to someone who would make good use of it. Makes good travelling/mobile radio due to it's wide frequency coverage.

The Alinco DJ-X10T is a very compact wideband receiver covering 0.1-2000 MHz (less cellular). AM, NFM, WFM, LSB, USB & CW, 1200 Memory channels

This radio is in very good condition & comes with: case, BNC telescoping antenna and AA cell holder. Uses 4 AA batteries. No AC wall adapter.

No original manual, but it is available from several online sources.

Asking $100 (I pay shipping)

If interested contact me mdmonitor1@verizon.net

Couple McGuire KC-10's to Elmendorf.
Yesterday was FIAT-41 #85-0028 and today FIAT-40 #85-0027 headed that way.
Hmm Italy is the other way! LOL Yesterday Red Flag Alaska ended so maybe for someone to go home.

KC-135s FIAT 43 and FIAT 44 flew a local mission this afternoon.

The 36FS F-16s should be departing from Eielson AFB to Japan tomorrow and then returning to South Korea,
and the 18FW F-15s may be going to Nellis AFB for three weeks, before returning to Kadena AFB, Japan aswell.
