My overall impression of the set was: "Damn, that's certainly some
expensive
aluminium sheet!"

That's just it. Those type rigs are way over priced. The same people or gov
agencies that bought or buy them are the same ones who pay $50 for ball
point pens. I've had a few over the years and they were nice when working
but not a big leap better than any high end consumer rig. My dad used to
bring them home from work and I fiddled with quite a few different makes. My
favorites were always the WJ & Rockwell receivers. For quite few years I had
a HF-1000 or WJ-8711 but it took a **** and at the time I couldn't afford to
fix it but was able to sell it for enough to buy a R-5000.
