You can't post a picture from a local folder on your computer. It must be hosted on a server somewhere. If you want to host pics go to hpphoto.com you can sign up for free and they will host quite a bit of data.

sigh

No, those links DON'T work... not the way he intended... notice the big fat IMG tag on his post?

Yes, I know that if you copy and paste the links in the browser you can see a big blurry radio.

thank you very very much Mike, you are my hero

haha... well, I try.

I'd bet it's some kind of data radio.

What else do you know about it?

Okay, I did some research:

Let's start with what you gave us:

FLENSBURG ECKENERSTR.28 TYPE:PRM6662DM REV: A
NO: F911M 103855

1. FLENSBURG ECKENERSTR.28:

I only get one hit on google for this:
http://www.technoir.nu/hplx/hplx-l/9710/msg00309.html

Looks like the address for Motorola's German Division:

Motorola Electronic GmbH
Eckenerstr. 28
D-24939 Flensburg

Reception : +49 (0)461 803 0
Direct : +49 (0)461 803 456
Fax : +49 (0)461 803 210

Okay, so we know for sure it's a Motorola radio.

Next:

2. TYPE:PRM6662DM REV: A

This phrase didn't bring back anything, and chopping it up didn't either.
I tried "PRM6662" in google and got some hits, for a radio called "Storno PRM6662"

Looks like it's a 70cm (440mhz) commercial radio.... there looks to be a mod for it to do amateur 70cm...

http://home.t-online.de/home/dl6int-1/6662/

This page mentions the radio, but doesn't seem to be much info on it:
http://www.agurk.dk/bjarke/amateur.htm

Finally:

3. NO: F911M 103855

Doesn't return anything specific to the radio. "F911M" brings back hits for a library book, and 103855 brings back a lot of pages for all sorts of items.

So it looks like a 70cm radio. No way it'll do 2m, not without some serious modifications, which I doubt is even possible.

If you want to sell it if you're unable to use it, let me know. Otherwise, good luck with it!

Storno is the european brand name for Motorola, is it not?

With the plug on the back and no face it may be for data/MDT. looks like a spectra unit used with motorolas MDTs

It is a radio of the Storno (later: Motorola) CQM6000 family. The PRM-prefix indicates, that it is a system radio/mobile telephone for the Nordic Mobile Telephone net NMT450, which was very similar to the old german "C-Net" (analogue mobile phone). It works in the 450Mhz-range.
The one you have is the black box/remote mount version which needs either a remote controlhead or a handset with keypad and display.

Nice radios.

Thank you guys, you all are the best.
So..it is 70cm things needs either a remote controlhead or a handset with keypad and display to make it works (which I dont have).Forgot to tell, it does come with a 25 pin connector that branching to 9 pin and one connector that I dont know what type it is....and antenna connector with RG58 coax without the antenna.
Interesting, look like I have to go back to that junk shop again to find the missing parts. Again, Thank You. I'll be back.
