[Premium-Rx] Very rare ESKA Escom 500 receiver on eBay Germany

[Clemens Ostergaard]

Hi Martin,

The ESKA RX-99 and the ESCOMM 500 is not the same receiver. While the first
was battery-driven, portable, produced in small numbers 1984-85, the 500
was a wideband (10kHz-470MHz) mains receiver most likely produced in 1986,
by which time Eddy Visser was - I think - based in Holland. It must be very
rare, I have never seen one here in Denmark.
