FEATURES
Your RadioShack TRC-446 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 which cre-
ates a PA system; or a DC power supply
and base station antenna to use it as a
base station in your home.
Your CB has these features:
ACE (Audio Clarity Enhancer) — sup-
presses noise levels while leaving the
signal intact during reception. During
transmitting, it enhances the signal, pro-
viding you with a significant reduction in
reception and transmission noise.
NOAA 7-Channel WX Band Receiver
— lets you tune to seven national
weather service frequencies which pro-
vide local weather conditions and fore-
casts.
WX/Alert Indicator — shows the CB is
ready to receive and indicates the re-
ception of a weather alert
Built-In SWR Meter — helps you tune
your antenna system to optimize your
CB's performance.
RF Gain Control — lets you adjust re-
ception to match the strength of the re-
ceived signal.
Convenient On-Microphone Channel
Up/Down Controls — let you quickly
scan the band for communications.
CH-9/NOR/CH-19 Switch — lets you
quickly tune to emergency Channel 9 or
Channel 19 without using the rotary tun-
ing control.

PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) Frequency
Synthesizer — uses a precise frequen-
cy reference crystal to provide reliable

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

pensates for fading signals and elimi-
