Is rca back into the radio game


Far as I know they never really went completely away. When RCA was being broken up in the 80s, their land-mobile radio division was spun off and renamed "Tactec", the name of their new (at the time) business-radio product line. They kept doing business in Canada, as the market for analog police/fire/industrial 2-way FM radios declined year by year. Don't know what year Tactec went away in the US.

The web site shows modern-day police/fire/industrial and marine 2-way gear using current-day digital protocols.

The RCA-brand CB radios came from a different business unit altogether, the consumer division that sold TVs and stereos. That got sold to the french company Thompson 35 years ago.

Smacks of a Canadian Invasion, I'd say.

Kinda reminds me of Eric Lewis going back to the name Palomar after all these years.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
