Wow! 91 channel COM. Those were the days…
(But 200 kHz channel spacing in the old frequency band (118.000 – 135.975) should only give 90 channels. Was 136.000 also included?)
@ultranomad what year is this from? Did Czech GA manufacturers get to produce for export during the Cold War?

According to the Bank of England inflation calculator, £5800 in 1958 corresponds to £139k in 2020.
