The Commtel 510 was manufactured by Murantz (Standard) and was also distributed as the Standard AX400 & Welz (Diamond Antenna) WS-1000. Both these models have been replaced by the later AX400B/E and WS-2000.
Measuring just 97mm(h) x 58mm(w) x 24 mm (d) it is the Worlds smallest handheld scanner. The Commtel 510 requires just 2 x AA batteries for internal power and with these fitted still only weight a remarkably light 200 grams.

Availability & Price

Impresssions
- Performance is excellent for such a small scanner and connecting to an external antenna and using the "airbands" resulted in no strong signal overload or intermod. Audio is clean and crisp for a unit of such size. FM Broadcast reception is also good.
If your looking for something small, compact yet offering good performance at a very competative price the Commtel 510 is hard to ignore.
