The Western Air Patrol 587 is a rebadged Gilfillan 8C8. It uses the same chassis and schematic as the Western Air Patrol 487.
Wavebands include BC 525-1750 kHz, Police 1.7-5.8 MHz, and SW 5.4-18 MHz.
The 5 controls, from Left to Right, are: Sensitivity, Band Switch, Tuning, Off-On-Volume, and Tone. All five knobs have their functions engraved in the top of the knob. There are conductors for connecting either a long wire or doublet (dipole) antenna.
