It's a replica of AN/PRC-148 (or MBITR)
Released some years ago...
...and produce by Toy Soldier.
Can buy it on eBay or on ToySoldier Website.
There is 4 versions...
... so choose the good one.
Some people made a mistake ^^

$380,00
We will see later why.
So we have...

An extension for antenna.
You can use MBITR on front...
