Weather Alert

In the event of severe weather condi- tions, the National Weather Service broadcasts a special signal tone (1050 Hz) that the TRC-445 sounds if it is turned on. When the radio receives this signal tone, the WX/ALERT indicator glows red in the CB or PA mode and or- ange in the WX mode.

If CB/WX/PA is set to CB or PA, switch to WX to hear special severe weather infor- mation and warnings.

Note: If the TRC-445 is turned off, it does not sound the signal tone.

2.Turn OFF/VOLUME fully counter- clockwise.

3.Set CB/WX/PA to PA. The SWR/RF/ signal meter and TX/RX indicator turn off.
