MISCELLANEOUS
Manufactured:Sweden, 197x-197x (Discontinued)
Additional info: This is a fully analog scanner. No XTALs, no PLL. It's
varactor tuned with an analog meter as the only frequency
indicator. Apparently tailor made for the now withdrawn
swedish police & rescue low band.

It has the same form factor as the popular and more advanced
DLS 80, 160 and 200C series. Any relation perhaps, or maybe
some sort of prototype?

Main PCB: DKLP 030 683 500.

Basically the same as Turbo-Scan but slightly differently populated.
Also, the two samples seen here have different meters. The one indicating
78-80 MHz is likely the production version or a later prototype.
