Heathkit HW-24/Standard C-5200 (mobile)
STANDARD C-5200 was released in the mid 198es. It is a mobile radio. At first sight this radio is pretty unspectacular. But STANDARD-fans know that this radio was a high-class radio in its time. Construction and design are in a robust and high quality. Usability of this radio is very easy. For displaying settings and current frequncies the STANDARD C-5200 uses a real VF-display. Keys have a backlight lighting for better usage in dark areas like midnight-shacks and cars. DTMF and CTCSS have been available as optional units. The C-5200 has two antenna-connectors. On this time this was usual on mobile bi-band radios because small-size duplexer for rf-power up to 50W haven't been available. So for using the C-5200 on a Bi-Band antenna you will need a duplexer vor 145Mc and 435Mc with max. 50W rf-rating and good selection. Maybe you think this is a disadvantage.
