[Amps] U.S. Military chooses Harris

[Will Matney]

Joe,

I doubt the transceiver will be either unless the encryption is removeable. However, they have a slew of extras including a 400 watt solid state amp. It weighs 45 pounds so it must be a combination base/mobile. Now these may make it to surplus.

Best,

Will
