Radio Shack had this multi-band radio back in the late 70s early 80s.
I tried one out at our local store. It was about 6:00 PM but it was winter and dark out already. The guy let me take it out into the mall parking lot to test it. I loved it. It was a really hot radio. But I had no money back then so I just took it back into the store and thanked the guy for letting me try it.

Realistic Patrolman 9
Re: Realistic Patrolman 9
I've always liked the look of those 70s multiband radios. Unfortunately from what I've read a lot of them are junk. That PatrolMan looks interesting.
This is one of my favorite looking ones:

I think we had the Patrolman 9, or something very similar to it. My mom liked to listen to the police and fire, after watching shows like EMERGENCY! and ADAM-12. I remember the two antennas on the top. It probably shows up in some of the old pictures.

Ran across an old pic from the 70's as I was converting a bunch of slides to digital.
Looks like the Patrolman 9, or very similar...
