Had to google "Concorde 2", never seen one of those here in Oz. Similar hardware except for the circuit board, the Phantom Communicator has the earlier FCC AM/SSB 40-only Cybernet board with the larger silver / rectangular VCO block.

A big what looked like a 4" speaker araldited to the outside top of an Amstrad 900, not in a case just a bare 4" speaker.
Oh and two small holes drilled for the two wires.
