Don't think I ever saw one of these back in the day only ever the hand held set by Realistic but great service & alignment I will watch the scratchy corner test tomorrow as I have run out of time.

I have a pair of Realistic in very good condition i think they are the TRC2000.

i dont remember ever seeing one of these in the wild. one thought that keeps coming to me is about output power watts is a measurement based on amps and volts so is there a better ratio for transmitted power like lower voltage higher amps or vice versa? ever tested this to see if different cbs generate the 4w with different v/a?

[@ukfmcbradioservicingTango21]

Very few 4W sets draw less than 1A. I bet I could test 100 sets with this chassis & that this is the lowest consumption of any. Normally UK 4W 1980's radios draw between 1.15A & 1.45A. On the other hand, current models mainly draw 2.2 to 2.5A. Great progress eh? Richard
