When I first joined the fire department, I bought a little hand-held
radio from Lafyette that tuned the AM broadcast band and the highband
VHF using tuning knobs. I was able to monitor all 3 fire freqs
simultaneously, it was so broad. When the first Bearcat scanners came
out, I said, "who needs it when I have this little radio?" Then the
radio quit working. GRRR. I think this was back in 1964, and I think
I only paid $25 for the little thing. It worked great while it worked
though...
