I would buy one if they came in black.

 

[SCPD]

You buy one and I can paint it for you. :lol:

As Brack from Space Ghost would say:

"I'm all worked up now...I gotta go outside."

Finally - a radio big enough to mount a cupholder and ashtray on.

 

[pathalogical]

You can carry it on your shoulder ghetto-blaster style ! Sooo....how much ?

 

[SCPD]

Path, it would be scary to know the cost. I would guess in the $50,000-100,000 range easy.

Went surfing the web attempting to find the price of this baby. I could not find it published. So if you have to ask how much, you can't afford it.

As expensive as this radio is, you would think they would mention if this radio were a SDR - it's not, evidently....Mike

I think we should all chip in and buy one for the Forum. We can all share it.

Dibs on weekends.

Are you joking? As soon as Token gets his hands on it -- he'll never let it go!

 

[woebbers]

If thats the portabe i want to see the Base!. I bet it has a built in recliner and a remote that will finally work my TV and Verizon box correctly.

PS....I think token has one already and is keeping it a secret!

As if you will have time to watch TV anymore since it probably takes a year to read the manual.

Sorta has me thinking that the intell agencies-military and civilian have moved on to something better. Nice unit, would enjoy some hands on time. Can you imagine the size and scope of not only the operating manual but the service manual as well???? Yikes.

 

[RadioDaze]

Can you imagine the size and scope of ...the service manual ...????

That S.O.B. probably has A.I. and services itself.

Test equipment always has exciting-sounding features, but you can't sit and listen to it.

Who says?

Both my HP8921 service monitor and my Anritsu Sweep Gear/Spectrum Analyzer have built in demodulators.

The audio is nice enough on the Anritsu that I sometimes use it to listen to the local radio station.
