IFR500A, what a beauty, so so clean, followed by some radio pawn, one beautiful TS2000x at the end.

I was with that one for almost 15 years. It was an excellent equipment from IFR. You could retune that piece with a screw driver!

I used one when I worked in the 2-way radio biz years ago. Good stuff, thanks Brenton. 73, KF7YN

never seen a IFR500A here in the UK. looks late 1970's with the thumbwheel switches?
through the 1980's i carried a thumbwheel AOR 240A 2M handy. I have an early 1980s
FDK Multi 750 for 2M multimode. and of course several Bao's and Quansheng, I also have a K5 (8)
but use the bigger battery from the UV 5plus version

dang, that IFR looks like a bit of test gear.. so hawt..

[@billfargo9616]

It is a communications monitor.

IFRs are specialized for avionics, because aircraft comm uses AM instead of FM.
