WRQC527 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 The Indian navy intercepted and freed the crew of an Iranian fishing boat yesterday off Somalia that was commandeered by pirates. On display appears to be the gear confiscated from said pirates. I'm interested to know about what appears to be some kind of ham transceiver. Hard to tell what it is, but it does bring new meaning to the term "pirate radio". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRQC527 Posted January 30 Author Report Share Posted January 30 Yep, the more I look at it, the more it looks like an Icom IC-718, or its marine version, the IC-78. WRUU653 and WRXB215 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
