Actually, the TRC-2 is not part of this series. It comprised
the BC-1306 plus the TRC-2 itself, which is same as BC-1306
except it tunes 1900-3400 kc/s.

Around 1975 in the Bothell, WA area there was high-schooler's
bootleg broadcaster that used a TRC-1. They really got out; i
used to listen to them at about 20 miles away.
