US BC-611 Handie Talkie Radio
(2010-06-21)
Very fast delivery from Dubai Warehouse, two and a half days. Great 1/1 scale reproduction especially for the price. One thing I noticed was that phillips screws where used instead of flat head (only seven are noticed, six on side & one on top) but one could replace them for under a dollar. Again a great item, I have recomended it to friends.

The radios are pretty good reproduction. They look great. I did not have problems with the instructions or the FSR radio. And, yes the antenna is shorter than the real BC-611, the real ones did not have shiny chrome antennas but, what do you expect its a reproduction. The only change I would like would be a way to turn it on without having to unscrew the top.

I have two working WW-II, BC-611''s and these are great knock-off''s.
The FRS radios give great flexibility, can be readily serviced or replaced and have better range.
You can get two of these for the $$ that one real BC-611 would cost.
Comes with straps and all data plates and a blank freq. card, all you need is batteries.
About the only draw back is having to use a screw driver to open & close the unit to turn it on and off. A worth while trade off to keep the real BC''s at home!
