I have a few of these, and the older generations of them as well. They are amazing fun, DX can be had with a whip antenna, however the SSB performance is very average (especially on the "newer" generation radios). They are all dated and compromised designs.TRS had some Albrecht AE 2990's a couple weeks ago for $280.
If you search in Europe they are still for sale but not cheap.
Albrecht AE-2990 cb/ssb handheld cbradio. easy to open to full band
Albrecht AE-2990 AM/FM/ssb SSB handheld CBRadio with 10 and 11 meter cb band. Same as the Magnum 1012. But this is the European versionwww.cbshop.com
18 in stock when I posted this.
There is a FB group dedicated to these radios with lots of users.
