Radio Shack TRC-519 owner manual Features

Your RadioShack TRC-519 40-Channel Mobile CB Radio provides two-way communications on the citizen’s radio band and also lets you tune to local and national weather service broadcasts. This CB is perfect for recreational, busi- ness, or emergency use. You can call other people who have CBs at home, in their vehicles, or at campsites, (for ex- ample). You can also connect optional equipment to your CB, such as external speakers, or a DC power supply and base station antenna to set up a base station in your home. The built-in 40- channel PLL (phase-locked loop) fre- quency synthesizer uses a precise fre- quency reference crystal for reliable and exact tuning.

Your CB has these features:

ACE (Audio Clarity Enhancer) — sup- presses noise levels while leaving the signal intact during reception. It enhanc- es the transmission and provides a sig- nificant reduction in transmission and reception noise.

WX Alert/SAME (Specific Area Mes- sage Encoding) — warns you of seri- ous weather conditions using visual and audio alarms tailored to the level of weather severity.

Seven Preprogrammed Weather Channels — let you manually select from ten US weather frequencies to stay informed about current weather condi- tions as you travel.

RF Gain Control — prevents overload- ing due to strong RF signals.

Maximum Allowable Legal Power Output — gives you the greatest avail- able range.

TX Indicator — lights to show when the radio is transmitting.

Digital Channel Display — makes the channel number easy to see.

External Speaker Jack — lets you con- nect your CB to an external speaker.

Screw-On MIC Connector — ensures a secure microphone connection.

To use this CB, you need a mobile or base station antenna. Your local Ra- dioShack store has a wide variety of an- tennas. For more information, see “Connecting an Antenna” on Page 6.

The Federal Communications Commis- sion (FCC) does not require you to have a license to operate this CB. However, you must know Part 95 of FCC Rules. It explains the proper operation of a Class D citizen’s band CB. We enclosed a copy of Part 95 with your CB radio.

We recommend you record your CB’s serial number here. The number is on the back of the CB.
