\"SpyRadio\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> reader Cap, who writes:<\/p>\n

This little gem just popped up on eBay UK<\/a>, it’s working and looks to be in very good condition and is also open to offers:<\/p>\n

This follows on from the FS5000 spy radio<\/a> you posted about in April.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If I had a respectable amount to offer this Seller<\/a>, I think I would.<\/p>\n

True–by today’s standards–the Mk.328 isn’t a high-performance receiver. It’s single conversion and probably not \u00fcber-sensitive.<\/p>\n

\"Spy-Radio\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Still, it’s a working piece of Cold War history and, back in the early 70s, probably packed the biggest punch for the size. I bet it’s over-engineered and will probably outlive most of us.<\/p>\n

Mighty tempted to make an offer. I\u00a0should probably distract myself about now. \u00a0Thanks, Cap! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
