The Aeoroflex T-1200SRA receiver<\/p><\/div>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Mario Filippi (N2HUN), who writes:<\/p>\n

Every once in a while an IFR (Instrument Flight Research, a.k.a. Aeroflex) T-1200SRA comes up for auction,<\/a> it is a sophisticated receiver covering LF-HF-VHF-UHF with built-in spectrum analyzer.<\/p>\n

Some claim these were used by the FCC for surveillance. I can believe that as IFR is a professional manufacturer of commercial radio test equipment. I have their 500A service monitor.<\/p>\n

Beautiful receiver, but this one is way overpriced. They usually start around a grand or so with a “Make Offer” contingency. One was sold in December for $481.<\/p>\n

Thank you for sharing this, Mario! Knowing the IFR is essentially a piece of test equipment, I’m very curious how it \u00a0might compare with a similarly-priced tabletop (broadcast) radio.<\/p>\n
