Seen here with the optional CSC-92 Soft Case.
There is a dual Rx Function for the AM and FM Stereo Bands so you can listen

I brought the optional MH-34B4B Speaker Microphone which works very well, it uses a 3.5mm plug connector which fits between the Antenna
and the Main Control Knob on the top of the radio.
As you can see from this picture the radio is incredibly small, I couldn't beleive how small it was when I opened the box!
Don't be
put off by the low power output, I can easily open my local repeater 25 miles away on .5 of a Watt.
This has to be one of my favourite radios, think I've owned this one for about 18 months now. The radio is solidly built with a host
of great features, it easily fits into a shirt pocket. Volume output is more than sufficient for normal use, there are earpiece sockets
on both the radio and the speaker mic as well for noisy environments.
