The D104 microphone is a classic, still very popular with some hams as well as CBers. The "Phantom" amplifier was built as an illegal CB amplifier, most likely, even though it could have been called a "ham radio" amplifier. (The lack of a band switch is the clue that it was not intended for true ham radio use. Note that my amplifier comments also apply to the "Marko" amplifier in the one picture, too.) The "Super Scanner" box is a controller for a specific CB antenna that could be switched to favor certain directions, if I remember right.
