Description: The RCA Radio Phone De LuxeType CRM-P2B-5, was designed when market and field experience indicated the need for a narrow-band receiver.The market requirement for a broadband receiver was less than had been anticipated and the previous broadband receiver received more external random noise, diathermy and foreign station interference than narrow-band receivers, thus reducing the range. The CRM-P2B-5 uses a crystal-controlled superheterodyne receiver which may be made tunable by merely unplugging the crystal from the front panel. The De Luxe Radio Phone uses the same cabinet and microphone speaker combination as the earlier P2A Radio Phone. The squelchcontrol is on the right-hand side and the tuning control on the left. Market experience with the earlier transceiver had brought complaints of very short range, which upon investigation usually proved to be due to the limitations of a built-in antenna. Accordingly, the built-in antenna was omitted from the De Luxe Radio Phone so that it could be operated only with an external antenna. This unit was first produced in October 1959. Antenna adapter and some notes from the previous owner included. Nice clean unit. Note says bad tube, I have done no testing. That cool RCA logo speaker / mic is probably worth my starting bid! Very nice condition. 73Jim
