Around the time of the switch to 40 channels purchasers of SBE Consol II's
could ship their radio back to the factory for a 40 channel upgrade free of
charge. I never saw a new Consol II 40 channel out of the factory for retail
sale. I had a twenty-three channel version but didn't do the upgrade. Was a
nice radio for it's day, receiver had some issues with adjacent channel
rejection otherwise it was a great base radio. I was into Browning at the
time an just purchased a Mark IV.

Hello,

I'm an owner of a SBE Console V. This was SBE's answer to the addition
of channels 24-40. Unfortunately, this rig was fairly expensive
$450-$600 range and wasn't as friendly to modification as it's peer
group of radios.
This is a sharp looking rig even for todays standards and a decent
performer.
