What a cool idea for a video. Maybe it be the start of a series of segments like "Treasures from Andreas's Attic," LOL. I think that battery was the same size as some old top-tier Motorola FRS radios I remember. Nicad with memory issues? Aluminum die cast chassis. Wires II. 3 watts max output, .3 low, 1.3 mid. The features and the fact it worked and worked so well are a testament to good engineering and quality work in the radio factories.
The "channel counter" function (also called "frequency counter" on other models) is simply a scanner to find what frequency a nearby radio is emitting on. The problem is, you got to have a pretty good idea of the frequency you're looking for in the first place, because it scans only around the frequency that's already set on your radio.. so that's more of a gadget than anything else 😅 A nice little radio anyway, kind of a mini VX-8 👍

Totally agree
