I'm not much of a ham radio person myself, but if i'm not mistaken, this is the same ultra-bargain mentioned over on AK. (40 bucks for that rascal). I'll have to keep my eyes peeled from now on about old ham radios. (Maybe somebody could trade me some nice hi-fi for one.) Oh....and I'm not feeling ill....yet!
