I found it really odd not only that the set dresser wouldn't have found
a Motorola packset or something more realistic as a cop radio, but that
it was a mismatched pair like would be found in a real hams shack. And
she not only turned off the NCX-3 with the proper knob but also the
power switch on the HP-23.
