There is a Radio Shack "JetStream Mini" radio in this photo - Rarely seen photos from the Watergate break-in
- below the hand written note that says 'Mobile Crime Lab'. That JetStream Mini was able to receive AM broadcast stations and aircraft. I suspect that Alfred Baldwin thought that he had a Radio Shack "Patrolman Mini" (which looked identical). The Patrolman Mini hypothetically would have allowed Baldwin to listen to DC PD radio
transmissions
-----------------------------
I think the plumbers spent $19 buying the wrong radio.

Page 176 and 177 has the Patrolman Mini which received the police VHF band
