When I first started on cb back in the early 90s I had a Europasonic 3 uk40 set bought from someone in the local area. Now I’ve never seen one since offered or available for sale anywhere.
P.S . If you have one let me know, cheers 😁👍🏻

I have a Europa sonic and you are right... You rarely see them for sale. A similar looking rig was the original Moonraker minor but that has a side fitting mic.
And another similar rig is the new Orly from Euro CB

It’s similar to that one just a shame I can’t share the radio I’m looking for . It was a brilliant little radio for me but I traded it for a mint fidelity 2000 (cybernet board) and its box and mic. Wish I hadn’t now as that Europasonic 3 was brilliant

That Europasonic looks very similar to the Breaker 40FM mid band set as well. That had both side and front mounted mic sockets.

The performance on that model was terrible.

There is no such thing as a Fidelity 1000 which is too good to scrap.

Realistic had a similar mid block set but the mic socket on it almost looks like an afterthought as it was stuck on the bottom . Very odd

Danita Mk5 is pretty rare, especially with Green front and in 27/81 form.

I wish I hadn't sold mine it was a fantastic radio.
