Fw: Re: [Milsurplus] walkie talkie

[windy10605 at juno.com]

Thanks to Bob and Tom for their responses, we're getting close. Upon
careful inspection of the two, which followed me home from Belton, both 
look very much like the "HT-1" but they don't have the antenna on the
side (just a connector for a PL-259 on top), the top looks identical to
the HT-1 and (in pencil) the frequency is marked F1 148.?? and F2 is
marked 15?.??, so these may be the OPS/FM-1 radios described on Peter
McCollum's site ? Would make a nice 2m combo if it is FM  ...however one
still has the batteries inside (!!*&!*&!!).

Thanks guys.

That would be an HT-1 "village radio"

Nifty things, kind of sort of remind me of a BC-611,
less mouthpiece.
