I have two of these radios, nos. I wanted to post on EE, but have no idea of fair price for the pair.
Any ideas?
Shamelessly gleamed from the internet:
"This Chinese military portable radio’s full name is “Type 884 VHF FM Battalion-Company level transceiver” designed for communication between battalion HQ and its companies. Its predecessor is 883 (Type 62) “Battalion-Company level VHF FM transceiver”, developed in early 60’s. The 883 radio has a mixture design of transistors and vacuum tubes. In late 60’s, a requirement is given to industry to develop a full solid state Battalion-Company level VHF FM transceiver. This newly development radio was the 884 radio, and it is the first full solid state radio China developed in its class. It got its certificate from military in early 1972. 884 radios were supplied to Vietcom in large quantity in early 70’s even before that of Chinese army. They were widely used by both sides of 1979 border conflict between Vietnam and China, and retired in mid 80’s.
The 884 radio operates within 45-50 MHz in a single continues band. It could have 51 channels if the spacing between channels is 100 KHz. It has two modes of operation: FM and CW. The radio itself measures 260 x 220 x 90mm, weight 5.5Kg with batteries. It uses 1.5 meter whip-antenna, operates with 11.5 – 18 V DC and output power is 0.75W. With 1.5 meter antenna, operation distance is 2.5 Km for voice and 5 Km for telegraph under normal battle field condition."
Pictures are the actual radio(s) I would like to list.
Any ideas?
