This was my second radio, bought together with the TV-2 2m transciever-converter and the matching 117xc speaker/power supply. All were in really nice condition, and these opened the door to Boatanchors for me. More TRW swapmeet items, I have since made several contacts with the OM I bought it from...but on 222mhz! The hams on 222 in this area are the most easy-going and friendly (at least in my experience).
