Very similar. Mine does not have an ON/OFF switch, just the red LED and test button. Same mesh cage. Held in the right hand, the fore- and middle fingers are on the XMIT lever and the thumb can bump the gain wheel up or down. Made in Taiwan. Takes RS batt 23-601. 7vdc. Replacement batt is a Duracell PC175A, which is a black plastic sleeve holding a stack of 5 - #357 coin cells. [5 x 1.5 = 7.5]
One note about Radio Shack CBs, with the Mic's DIN plug detached, the Mic's transmit key is energized. So don't turn the radio on w/o the Mic being plugged in solidly, or you'll fry the Final.
