     We have represented Technology Research Corporation, a Florida corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of a Registration
Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement"),  relating to the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), of 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.51 per
share (the "Stock"), to be issued pursuant to options granted or to be
granted under the Technology Research Corporation 2000 Long Term Incentive
Plan (the "Plan"), as amended, pursuant to the Company's 2003 annual meeting
of its shareholders (the "Plan").  As counsel to the Company, we have examined
the proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the registration of
the Stock.

     Based upon our examination of such documents and other matters as we deem
relevant, it is our opinion that (i) the Stock to be offered by the Company
under the Plan pursuant to the Registration Statement have been duly authorized
and, (ii) when issued and sold by the Company in accordance with the
Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, will be legally issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.

     We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and further consent to the use of our name wherever
appearing in the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.


                                      Very truly yours,

                                      Bush, Ross, Gardner
