despite the issues i'm having with my sons antenna, i did manage to snag a like new trc-451 off c-list early this morning, been wanting one for awhile, and this one is in near new condition, if it was used at all, came with the original box with manuals...................oldcb

never figured on finding a like new one on c-list, and after seeing what they've been selling for on the bay, i feel i got real lucky on this find, i did try it out, and it works very well, as if it really is new, not bad for a radio that came out in 1981, only 32 years young!...............oldcb

Nice! Depending on the build date, it and I could be almost the exact same age.

just checked my shack catalogs, these were sold from 1981 through 1985, my 1986 catalog shows the trc 453 replacing the 451..................oldcb

Nice purchase! It looks cool.

this radio talks and receives very nicely on the sidebands, from what i've read, they have a very sensitive rx/tx in them, i'm very happy with it.......................oldcb
