vintage walkie talkie score, info please?!

I dunno. They look a lot like a Midland unit I had way back when and they claimed a full 4 watts output.

I agree, around 1 watt, 11 meters.

I have a few EF Johnson 109s that are the American Made version of that. The range is really kinda based on the band/channels noise floor.

I would really like to get some custom crystals made and make one of mine a 10 meter QRP radio. Say 28.350, 28.400 and 28.450 or something like that. It would take some tweaking, but I bet I could get it to work.

The 10M band has been poppin lately and making a dx contact on an early transistor handheld would be hot
