hi i have a realistic trc 490 base station that i bought used but it has some problems.the guy told me he took out the extra channels that it had in it.he said it was a bunch of extra wires and some switches.for some reason channel 19 is channel 28 and the receive is bad if someone is giving me a 9 on the meter on my other radio they give me a 1 on this radio. And the clarifier when IM on upper sideband only if I turn it to a a certain spot and IM talking the transmit cuts out like IM not even pressing the mic.should i put it in the trash and light it on fire?or what?thank god i didnt pay to much for it.lol
