Hello, I got a radio yesterday from a local source. The owner didn’t know what to do with it so he gave it to me. I also can’t easy find he description on the web. So I made a link o Imgur with the pictures of the device with all details from the outside and the kind of batteries that came with it in the bag. I guess the yellow ones are the originals. As they don’t have a modern brand name and only a number painter on them. They also seem to have mah, which makes me think those were rechargeable. I appreciate the comments and I hope to find the right kind of manual to make this thing work instead of just messing it up while trying to get it working without knowledge. The link is below:

UFT 422
is a solid state 4- channel DDR radio for public services, manufactured by RFT. It was mainly used by firefighters, VOPO and other services.
A cable antenna built in the shoulder strap was used when the distances to cover were short; or when the provided steel band antenna was hindering.
A headset with throat microfone also is part of the radio set; to be used when surrounding noises are very loud. Usually the funnel- looking microfone / Loudspeaker combination is used.

@IZS4 - Thanks for the quick reply! It covers exactly what I needed to get. I wonder if it’s safe to get some voltage into it and turning it on or disassemble it to see if anything is wrong on the inside.. on the outside everything looks good. Only dust is the faulty part. On the inside of the battery case, it looks also kinda dirty. Not that much but a few black spots on the sides are visible. Maybe also dust to clear out. No signs of leakage on the spring plug which sounds good to me.

Here’s the circuitry on the inside. It looks messed up to me. As a beginner, I have no idea on how to clean this all out and if the mess is a sign of a leaking capacitor or something. This stuff is really like a maze to me. I don’t know where to start nor end.
