KING All Transistor Transceiver Walkie Talkie Model MTC-301

Circa Mid 1960's

A consumer-grade, handheld two-way radio from the mid-20th century. The most inexpensive versions were often sold as children's toys.

Use Case:

Used for short-range, personal communication, primarily as a recreational "walkie-talkie" for children and hobbyists, or for simple communication around a home or yard. Operated over a single crystal-controlled frequency in the Citizens Band (CB) range (typically Channel 7 or 14). The side button is a push-to-talk (PTT) switch, and the top dial controls the power and volume.

Historical Significance:

A prime example of the mass-produced, affordable consumer electronics that brought the fun of two-way radio communication into homes before the dominance of personal cell phones. These simple devices helped popularize the CB radio trend and often came in pairs in a box for use right out of the store.

NOTE: 6-(2-piece) sets available.

Accessories Available Separately:

• Original packaging.
