Your RadioShack TRC-401 Emer-
gency CB Radio is a 40-channel citi-
zen’s band radio that is specially
designed for emergency situations. It
contains a CB, an antenna, and a
power cord — all in a handy, impact-
resistant carrying case that lets you
store all of the equipment safely out
of the way and easily move it from
one vehicle to another.
Its features include:
Automatic Emergency Channel 9
Selection — immediately switches
to Channel 9 (the universal emergen-
cy channel) each time the CB is
turned on.
Important: REACT is a nationwide
24-hour network that monitors Chan-
nel 9. Switch to Channel 9 in an
emergency, and report the problem.
(REACT might not be available in all
areas.)
Channel 19 Switch — immediately
switches the CB to Channel 19, used
by most travelers.
PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) Fre-
quency Synthesizer — provides re-
liable and exact tuning.
Auto Squelch — eliminates the
need to set the squelch level.
Digital Channel-Number Display
— makes it easy to see which chan-
nel is selected.
Built-In Ceramic Filters — provide
superior selectivity and prevent adja-
cent-channel interference.
Built-In Modulation Control — pre-
vents the transmitter signal from
over-modulating and distorting.
Built-In Automatic Noise Limiter
(ANL) — reduces noise caused by
nearby electrical equipment, such as
motors or automotive ignition sys-
tems.
Impact-Resistant Storage Case —
stores everything you need to power
the CB from your vehicle.
Note: The TRC-401 comes with a
telescoping antenna on a magnet-
mount base that you can attach di-
rectly to the CB for use when your ve-
hicle is not moving. If you plan to use
the CB when your vehicle is moving,
we recommend that you purchase a
standard mount antenna.
We recommend you record the TRC-
401’s serial number here. The num-
ber is on the CB’s back panel.
