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.
USING THE PUBLIC
ADDRESS FUNCTION
1. Connect a PA speaker to the TRC-
445 (see “Connecting Optional
External Speakers” on Page 9).
2. Turn
OFF/VOLUME
fully counter-
clockwise.
3. Set

The SWR/RF/

4. Hold down the microphone talk but-
ton and speak into the microphone
in a normal voice.
Note: To prevent feedback, hold the
microphone as far away from the PA
speaker as possible.
