I was blessed/cursed to use Radio Shack's standard cassette player/recorder with my TRS-80 Model I. You had to use the proper volume settings when loading and saving data. The settings were different for BASIC and machine code, and the volume controller was very imprecise. I enjoyed typing in programs from BASIC Computer Games but I was really happy to upgrade to a C-64 with a dedicated tape drive...

Also my dad had recently gotten into HAM radio and we had to negotiate our hobby times because of the Trash-80's RF interferance.
