{"product_id":"ap-radioman","title":"AP Radioman","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe radio on this soldier's back was built by a company you know by another name. It was made by Galvin Manufacturing, a Chicago firm that had built its reputation putting radios in automobiles under a brand it coined from \"motor\" and the Victrola record player: Motorola. During the war Galvin turned that expertise into the SCR-300 backpack \"walkie-talkie,\" a rugged FM set good for about three miles. The company took the Motorola name for good in 1947 and grew into an electronics giant — car radios, televisions, the gear that relayed astronauts' voices home from space, and, in 1973, the first handheld cellular telephone. The set slung on this GI is a direct ancestor of the phone in your pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe radioman walks with the SCR-300 riding high on his back, its long whip antenna swaying overhead, an M1 Carbine in hand for defense and the single stripe of a private first class on his sleeve. He is the officer's voice: post him at the shoulder of the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ap-the-lieutenant\"\u003eLieutenant\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ap-the-sergeant\"\u003eSergeant\u003c\/a\u003e, relaying their orders and calls for support. He carries the very same set as his counterpart in the Ardennes, the Bulge collection's \u003ca href=\"\/products\/walking-radioman\"\u003eWalking Radioman\u003c\/a\u003e. In a diorama that tall antenna is a story in itself — the mark of the man who could reach beyond the fight for help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eModel: DD401 \/ King \u0026amp; Country \/ 1\/30 (60mm) scale \/ matte finish \/ 1 piece set\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"King and Country","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49613416562916,"sku":"DD401","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/7024\/2788\/files\/DD401_1.jpg?v=1786215177","url":"https:\/\/breagans.com\/products\/ap-radioman","provider":"Breagans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
