What's this?

I've got a box full of them in my mom's basement...


My dad used to keep one by his chair in the living room and listen in on the police and fire frequencies in the evenings.

Now with internet and phone apps, their utility has significantly diminished. Would love to know if there is any real market for these. Hell, I'd give them away if folks would take them and make use of them.

Also have another box full of CB radios. Dad used them for hunting. Again, most folks are using internet apps or texting while hunting.
