Tranceiver ICB‑88H

The Sony ICB‑88H is an eight‑channel 27 MHz handheld CB transceiver from Sony’s late ROGER‑branded series and belongs to the same design family as the ICB‑880T and other late‑era Japanese domestic CB sets. It uses the standard 500 mW AM output permitted under Japanese regulations and is fitted with a telescopic whip antenna consistent with the antenna design used across the late Sony handheld range. The case carries the markings “WEATHER PROOF” and “PLL SYNTHESIZED SCANNER,” indicating a sealed construction and a phase‑locked‑loop synthesized channel system. The set follows the general architecture of the 880‑series with a tall cabinet, a large front‑facing loudspeaker, and a lower‑mounted tuning and volume section, and it was sold for domestic Japanese use only.

The model is generally placed in the late 1980s to early 1990s period.

The radio operates on the Japanese eight‑channel CB allocation with transmit and receive frequencies:

• Ch1 — 26.968 MHz
• Ch2 — 26.976 MHz
• Ch3 — 27.040 MHz
• Ch4 — 27.080 MHz
• Ch5 — 27.088 MHz
• Ch6 — 27.112 MHz
• Ch7 — 27.120 MHz
• Ch8 — 27.144 MHz
