Pan Crusader X
Distributed by Pan International, manufactured in Japan proabably by Standard Radio Corp. or Uniden.
In the 1980s, a multiband receiver appeared that also covered the VHF ranges - as a „police communications radio“ its operation was illegal in Germany, which interested listeners twice as much. The set had a fame of having above-average reception characteristics, but this was far from reality.
The Pan Crusader, manufactured probably by Standard under the designation NR-82F1, but also sold under the brand names Tokyo Crusader or Globephone GS8008 DX, is an all-wave receiver that was sold as an „export radio“ due to its coverage of numerous VHF bands and enjoyed some popularity due to its coverage of police radio and PSB radio bands.
Due to the less strict legislation, the receivers were more usually distributed via Switzerland; in this country, in contrast to neighbouring Germany, only the operation on illegal frequencies, but not the possession of the set was prohibited.
Due to the wide frequency coverage, the receiver was preceded by a fame as a receiver with which you can hear „everything“, this fame was also supported by appealing brochures - the reality of the reception performance was much different and not corresponding to the high prices still paid at online auctions by far.
