I don't know why this radio is listed as a Receiver Scanner because it's a 23 Channel CB Transceiver.It covers 26.965 to 27.255 mhz AM only & is a Base Radio.It is about Average on the received signals & mine has average modulation with the stock hand held microphone.It is a Very Rare radio & I have never seen another one anywhere other than pictures on the web other than the one I own.Don't know how it would perform with a good peak & tune but mine is 100% operational & I try & leave my radios stock if I receive them in original condition.Happy that I have this one in my personal collection.Found on an old Craigslist ad in North Florida.
