CAN COMPETE
WITH THE-n "CHEAPIES"
You know Standard's reputation for quality.
But did you know we now offer a quality, 12-channel marine radio that's priced to compete with the "cheapies" on the market.
It's our new, low-cost, Model 880S. And with Standard's rugged, reliable 25 Watt con- struction. With a guaranteed minimum output of 18 Watts.
It also features our exclusive "Astropoint" solid state design for the ultimate combination of sensitivity, selectivity and inter- modulation rejection.
It comes complete with self-contained speaker (and provisions for an external speaker), microphone, 2 chan- nels equipped with gold-plated "Astropoint" crystals, and with full 12-channel capability utiliz- ing only one crystal per channel.
All this in a compact, weather- resistant package.
So if you're considering a "cheapie", consider the quality- 880S instead.' j) 71 A (JO 0n|y 019
