Default Cuban Spies' Shortwave Radios Go Undetected

Yeah, I read that article, yesterday. Any idea of the exact model
number of the National Panasonic portable pictured in the article?
I've never seen one like that before, but I'd like to add one to my
collection.


Like everything else in the article, it as the WaPO often does, it has no
basis in fact. The diatribe about ham radio operators was totaly off base
and unfounded, the (alleged) spies never transmitted, they only received
transmissions from Cuba.

As for the type of radio pictured, the picture came from the WikiPedia, and
had nothing to do with the one they used.
