Yes, I was watching an old episode if the Andy Griffith show and if
you've ever watched it you know that there's some radio gear on top of
the desk next to Sheriff Taylor's, right where Barney Fife normally
sits. One of them looks sort of like a Drake R-4C, but the particular
episode I watched didn't offer a good shot.

Does anyone know what this gear is?

And by the way, what a classic show! Still in wide syndication forty
years after it aired. Compare it to the crap that's aired nowadays and
it really makes you think.

Hi Steve,
In the early episodes, the radio was a Motorola business band radio. The
whip on the squad car indicated VHF-LO (30-50MHz).
Later episodes featured an Eico CB transceiver along side an Eico 720
80-10M CW only transmitter- with a mic plugged in the front!
