The Design
This very nice base station is still beloved by many CB enthousiasts of the first hour. When the CB was legalized in The Netherlands in 1980, 22 channels were allowed and 0.5W of RF output, and only FM. This model has very good reception: sensitivity is 0.5uV, and audio is good.

This Object
Coming home with the set was a disappointment because it simply didn't work. I had no idea where to start repairing it. A few months later I could buy a second, identical set (for the same price: 15 guilders). I just had to switch the microphones to find out that there was just a wire interruption in the mike of the first set. I then had two sets, and sold one to Jesse. This set has the power switch in the DC circuit, and uses 1.6W of vampire power when switched off. This amounts to several euros per annum, so I advice you to interrupt AC when this set is not in use.
