There  was a hamfest in the last few years where I bought an R-392 with the 
 
seller's
stipulation that I had to take a TRC-1 transmitter also. When  I looked at 
the transformers
inside that thing, I knew that it would be  major agony and maybe damage to 
my person
just getting it to my  vehicle, and that with taking every possible 
shortcut. 
So luckily  I
talked my way out of that part of the deal.
When I still lived in WA  state north of Seattle in the early 1990s some 
high 
school kids
put on  a bootleg FM station that I heard, from Bothell WA, it got to my 
qth 
at  about
7 miles with good strength. Someone told me they were using a TRC-1,  
possibly
vfo'd, I don't recall. Sounded pretty good - you could say,  "tube audio 
sound". Of
course their broadcast range led to the  predictable result.
