I'm looking for information about a VHF radio of the 'Alpha' brand.

I've got a picture, but no further info.

A local HAM wants to sell it and I might be interested.

Thanks Markus HB9VCD

Almost looks like a Kenwood 7400A with a different front panel, the
controls are similar. Kenwood did make products for other companies.

Thanks for the hint, Gary but a Kenwood 7400A looks quite differently.
At least from the picture on Rigpix.

Isn't there an address somewhere on a label? There are several
communication companies that begin with Alpha.

Yes I know that but the controls are very similar. I was thinking
maybe Kenwood built it for Alpha.

Does the radio have an FCC ID number, I would not be surprised if it
did not since you are not in the US. But if it does looking at the FCC
database would give you some insight.
