				Has anyone ever heard of the Lear Incorporated VHF Receiver model  
 LR-5B?  It is an old unusable but very interesting aviation radio, and  
 appears to be early 30's vintage.  There are two knobs (one for  
 volume, one for tuning) and the round dial tuning range covers 108 to  
 127 megacycles.  Physical size is 3"H x 6"W x 8"Deep.  My son gave it  
 to me for a hangar display, but now having received it, I cannot help  
 but wonder about its history.  If anyone has a lead, or knows the  
 kinds of aircraft it was used in, (or ever used one) I would love to  
 know more.  I do not get any hits when searching via Google.  Thanks--

				Sir, I used one a few times in a friends C 140 in the 60s. You had to take  when tuning it.
