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.

I managed to make out what number is on the final and it's a 2SC2078

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

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.

Did you see the seller this radio belongs too? I thought $344 was a tad too much.

A tad....ya think.

A tad....ya think.

From his description of it,it needs an overhaul. Only dead keys 3 watts.

He does have the NIB GE 3-5813A. I bought the B model. I'd love to have that mint SBE Land Command but maybe another day

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.

I guess you must be an old cb collector. I suppose for nostalga reasons?
