Notice the antenna gain figures? That was back in the day when gain figures were actually fairly accurate instead of the bullshit figures that started being quoted in later years.

Looking at what radio's sold for back then kind of makes the price of a new Stryker seem less expensive.

Those radio prices, you could just about add another zero to in todays money. Mostly toys for the rich, who could afford a months salary for a radio? These things were the price of a decent used car.

I notices the johnson messenger 323 in the catalog.
The write up looks interesting.
I have one a friend gave me and i believe i will dig it out and see if she works!

The price on that Browning MKII surprised the hell out of me!
