Royce 638? What's the quality of this radio?

[possom813]

My dad lives with my wife and I...Anyway, he was moving stuff around in his closet and brought this cb to me today to mess with. It's a royce 638, and I don't know anything about royce, except when I first started into cb, I had a 23 channel royce in the truck.

Shed some light por favor, it's got ssb, usb, and probably some other stuff in it I haven't figured out yet...

Also, does anyone have a link for the mic wiring diagram, this one is a 5 pin, and has a red dial in the side of it, not sure what that does, but it's there...

Check the Model number again, I don't remember a 638 model, but Royce radios were good radios, I still have a Mobile on the bench, talked skip to 66 in the Mag a while back,,,23 channel was 1976 and before, I don't even show that model in my book,,,the dial is for vol,,, or could be a channel switch, some models had them too
