Kinda looks like one of the Radio Shack Hand Held Cbs from the era.

But how do you know it's a TS-520S and not a TS-520?

I don't recall ever seeing a straight 520 without the "S". I have seen 520S, 520SE, and even a rare 520D model hat was not meant for export from Japan but do not remember ever seeing a straight 520.Maybe it's a 520SP but I can't see the notch filter knob.

Here it is-

( I was incorrect on the gray switch being the one for power. It is on my 700A)

Well I'll be darned. Where did you get the pix from Ron? I searched all over for a straight 520 but came up MT. :blink:

They also made a matching VFO for the 520 which was different than the one for the 520S.
