FEATURES

Your RadioShack TRC-502 40-Channel
Mini Mobile CB Radio is a great way to
communicate with other CB radio opera-
tors. Because of its convenient compact
size, you can use it just about anywhere.
You can mount it in a vehicle for mobile
use, or in your home or office for use as
a base station. 

Your CB has these advanced features.

Up/Down Channel Selector — lets you
easily select a channel with the press of
a button. 

TX (Transmit) Indicator — lights to
show when the CB is transmitting.

Automatic Noise Limiter (ANL) Circuit
— reduces impulse-type noise during
reception.

5-Pin Din Mic Connector — uses five
prongs to reinforce a clear connection
between the mic and the receiver.

Full Legal Power — gives you the full
range of CB channels with the maximum
allowed transmit power.

Adjustable Squelch — helps to elimi-
nate noise between transmissions. 

Automatic Modulation — prevents the
transmitter signal from over-modulating
and distorting.

(PLL) Frequency Synthesizer — pro-
vides highly accurate and stable tuning.

Crystal-Controlled Digital Tuning  —
provides precise transmission tuning ca-
pability when selecting a channel.

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

Universal Mounting Bracket — lets
you mount your CB securely in your ve-
hicle, or on a table or shelf in your home
or office.

External Antenna Jack — lets you at-
tach an optional antenna to your CB ra-
dio for increased range.
