  • Notes
  • This radio, made for the cigarette brand Marlboro in the form of a cigarette packet has a spying feature: With a click on the switch, one can listen to the surrounding by ear phone while pretending listening to the radio! It is only "listening" to the surrounding one is in and therefore not really a spy instrument ...

    Be aware that there is a very similar model without this function. See the small differences.
