TRC-459 recall
 

Does anyone have specific details on the design problem that forced
Radio-Shack to recall all TRC-459s several years ago?

I heard because it can burn your whole house down in a matter of
minuets. No - Just kidding...
I have a feeling if there was a recall its maybe the power supply in the
unit that uses AC Current was not made right or is up to specs and
probably could cause a fire. They dont recall cb radios for anything
else but for AC power only.

I thought it was more with the design of the TX circuits; i.e feedback loop
problems??

Remembering back: It had something to do with the TX/RX alignment
oscillating. I know the proceedure was a full re-alignment.
