  • Notes
  • The Dick Smith D‑1200A is a 40‑channel AM mobile CB transceiver for the 27 MHz HF CB band, sold by Dick Smith Electronics in the late 1980s. It represents the later generation of slimline AM‑only CB sets marketed by DSE, positioned as an affordable in‑vehicle radio for general road use.

    Units were manufactured in Korea or Taiwan, consistent with other DSE‑branded radios of the period.
