Realistic TRC-443

Update: I opened the cases on the TRC-443 to adjust the modulation and it was easy. I adjusted RV450 to get around 100% modulation. This is clearly some other brand marketed under the Radio Shack name. Realistic's just don't come with that much modulation. I have the pot adjusted 3/4. I might just have a keeper here.

Floor display ?

While I was checking for the peaking coils,I checked the PA&External Speaker jacks for any signs of this maybe being a used but minty radio and the picture tells it all



If you look closely,you'll see where both jacks have had plugs stuck in them.

TRC-443

Just to shake things up a but in the ebay kingdom,I sent the ebay seller a message through ebay about the fact that the TRC-443 is used based on the wear marks on the PA&EXTERNAL speaker jacks but that I'll keep the radio. Like I said before,I've never seen a Radio Shack cb modulate like this one does. The final gets pretty warm talking on it so I think I'll regrease it. Plus I'll clean all the pots and wipers.
Anybody know what a 2SC2078 will do watt wise?

RV450 (AMC) shows very little gain until it gets to a certain point then the modulation comes up big time

Anybody ever hear of this radio? It's on Ebay from the same guy I bought the Royce from

Sure. Many, many moons ago I ran one for a couple of years. Pretty good radio for what it does. Never had an issue with it. Never thought I would have seen one of those again..

And not for that price.. MAYBE $150 for a die hard midland collector, That radio only went for a buck and a quarter new.

Somebodys smokin' banana peels.:eek:;)

Did you see the seller this radio belongs too? I thought $344 was a tad too much.
 
That is about what they do untouched give or take .25 on am( which is probably the mode he tested it in), But it will definetly need a complete alignment, plus whatever has been clipped or screwed with.
