I dropped in for half an hour. Got a couple of replacement PRC320 handset leads for £2, and a 4-pin "Jones" socket that will be going on a power-supply-lead for my little MK128.

There were a few other sightings of interest: a couple of HROs, an AR88, a WS18 transmitter & receiver (seller wanted £100) and also *two* Geloso G209 receivers on separate stalls. I've never even seen one of these before - to have two turn up at the same rally must be a serious rarity.

There also seems to be some kind of strange resurgence in the prices of 1970s Japanese FM mobile transceivers; crystal-control and no CTCSS must make these rather inconvenient to use these days so why are they being offered for £40-£50 ??
