TRC-216:


The TRC-216 (model 21-1663) is one of the best hand-held CBs ever made. It features a long collapsible antenna,
backlight, 40 position channel dial, ports for external power/mic/antenna/speaker, and many other features.

The only feature it's lacking is an accurate TX meter and sideband. (I recall hearing rumors of a SSB HT but
I never actually saw one)

The 216 has been used as a prop in several recent movies, probably due to its iconic look.
