Reminds me of being a kid in the 80s, the Sears catalog walkie talkies were on the same channel as some trucker CBs. They would get upset at the cross talk.

And my neighbour had a large portable AM / SW radio that looked like any 70-80s style of that era, but It had a listen and talk flip switch on the side for SW. That didn’t seem legal to sell consumer style radio with a broadcast switch.
