understand Tandy wanted to move away from the "TRS-80? name, hence

Model 16B.
It was my impression that the "Tandy" branded line consisted mostly of
equipment targeted squarely at the business community, who might have
been less receptive to the moniker "Radio Shack". However, there was
duplication between the "Radio Shack" and "Tandy" products. Tandy did
have their own B&M retail outlets.
That being said, my Model 16 bears the "Radio Shack" label.
