FEATURES
Your RadioShack TRC-445 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 to create a
PA system, or a DC power supply and
base station antenna to set up a base
station in your home.
Your CB has these features:
7-Channel WX Band Receiver — lets
you tune to seven national weather ser-
vice frequencies so you can hear local
weather conditions and forecasts.
Built-In SWR Meter — helps you tune
your antenna system to optimize your
CB’s performance.
PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) Frequency
Synthesizer — provides reliable and
exact tuning using a precise frequency
reference crystal.
Two Ceramic Filters — provide superi-
or channel selectivity and prevent
adjacent-channel interference.
Hysteresis Squelch Circuit — com-
pensates for fading signals and elimi-
nates signal chopping during reception.
Rotary Tuning Control — provides
maximum convenience when selecting
channels.

Last-Channel Memory — the radio “re-
members” the channel you previously

ception to match the strength of the re-
ceived signal.

nal strength as well as the standing

Noise Blanking — lets you reduce the

Adjustable Brightness — lets you set
the meter’s backlight and the LED chan-
nel display to dim or bright.

quickly tune to Channel 9 or Channel 19
in an emergency without adjusting the
rotary tuning control.
