The 78005 looks to be identical to the popular 7805, the extra zero appears to be particular to Toshiba versions. I wonder if this transceiver is actually made by Kelvin and Hughes in the UK or whether it is a re-badged set made by another manufacturer. The regulator should be properly heatsinked to the case for it to operate correctly, not just resting on a foam pad. I would be surprised if a company such as K&H would let this construction method get past its QA systems without modification.
