A rather nice,compact transceiver,of French manufacture.It
was taken as a trophy of war by a British soldier, who took part in the Falklands

extensive radio related library,but have been unable to find 
any information on this
particular equipment.What we do know,is that this is a frequency synthesised transceiver
covering the range 0-20Mc’s,AM & SSB.An ATU is fixed to the right hand end of the
unit and a rechargeable battery pack is clipped to the left end.Charging is accomplished
via the hand-cranked generator mounted on the top of the transceiver.The transceiver is in
working order.The price of this transceiver,including ATU,Battery Pack & Hand
Generator,is $435 U.S. Dollars,which includes the cost of shipment to the U.S.A.
