Perhaps only this radio receiver, not counting the special and a few earlier household ones, was produced and was freely available to the public with short-wave ranges from 11.5 to 50 meters. True, there was no DV range in the receiver, since the receiver was intended for export. For several reasons, the export did not take place and the receiver was sold to the USSR in the amount of 30 thousand vehicles. Receiver 6 lamp. Rated output power 1.5 watts. Ranges: CB standard.
