Rig Review
Harvard 410T
The Harvard 410T is a well featured handheld CB Radio with 40 Channels, a small signal meter and squelch control. Whilst it rather large and cumbersome for a handheld radio it does have the ability to select any channel within the standard UK range and with a sizable telescopic aerial has some degree of capability for a handheld unit.
To its benefit, with the right adapter it is possible to fit any larger aerial with a PL259 socket meaning it has some uses in a portable set up. It runs with a number of AA Batteries it can be run from the appropriate power adapter but does not carry the ability to fit an external microphone which is available on some similar handheld radios from its era.
I have had it knocking around in my radio shack for years and I do dust it off now and again when testing other rigs for send and receive.

Harvard 410T
I just got a Harvard 410-T and I am using 8 energiser 1.5 Volt batteries and 2 rechargeable 1.2 Volts. It's overloaded but I haven't broken it, yet!!
