FEATURES

Your RadioShack TRC-445 Deluxe 40- Channel Mobile CB Radio with Weather Alert is a high performance CB that also lets you tune to local and national weather service broadcasts. This CB is perfect for recreational, business, or emergency use. You can call other peo- ple who have CBs at home, in their vehi- cles, or at camp sites. You can also connect optional equipment to your CB, such as an external speaker to create a PA system, or a DC power supply and base station antenna to set up a base station in your home.

Your CB has these features:

7-Channel WX Band Receiver — lets you tune to seven national weather ser- vice frequencies so you can hear local weather conditions and forecasts.

Built-In SWR Meter — helps you tune your antenna system to optimize your CB’s performance.

PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) Frequency Synthesizer — provides reliable and exact tuning using a precise frequency reference crystal.

Two Ceramic Filters — provide superi- or channel selectivity and prevent adjacent-channel interference.

Hysteresis Squelch Circuit — com- pensates for fading signals and elimi- nates signal chopping during reception.

Rotary Tuning Control — provides maximum convenience when selecting channels.

LED Channel Display — lets you see the selected channel (1–40).

Last-Channel Memory — the radio “re- members” the channel you previously tuned to when you turn on the radio.

RF Gain Control — lets you adjust re- ception to match the strength of the re- ceived signal.

Lighted SWR/RF/Signal Meter — lets you see the incoming and outgoing sig- nal strength as well as the standing wave ratio (SWR).

Noise Blanking — lets you reduce the noise sometimes caused by nearby electrical equipment such as motors or automotive ignition systems.

Adjustable Brightness — lets you set the meter’s backlight and the LED chan- nel display to dim or bright.

CH-9/NOR/CH-19 Switch — lets you quickly tune to Channel 9 or Channel 19 in an emergency without adjusting the rotary tuning control.

CB/WX/PA Switch — lets you quickly select the normal CB function, weather mode, or public address mode.
