The selection of hand-CB radios adheres very limited, actually remain only 2 manufacturers left. One of them is with the Midland ALAN 42 Multi with already current D4-band selection. (4W AM and FM 4W - actually the same as in Italy ...). After a long break the temptation once again to have a radio, suddenly was awake with me. After all, I spent whole nights so with good conversation, cell phone not gabs in those days and fixed-line telephony was expensive. The ALAN 42 fits comfortably in your hand, 2 battery boxes for 6 and 8 batteries, plus a 12V car adapter with external Antennanschluss complete the package. It requires no additional accessories, even a smelly bag is. Only 8 AA type batteries Sanyo Eneloop to 15.- are still recommended - no more. Well, if you want good coverage, is a Hyflex CL 27 by Albrecht also a good recommendation. But then it's over. Actually not quite Well, because beautiful 2 devices at any time a partner are of course to be able to give a device .... But that in turn means more batteries and then of course again an additional Hyflex. That's it then but finally! Unless the children also want to learn even sparks, but you know now, as it then continues ...
