(210-1589) Features Faxback Doc. # 31931
The Radio Shack TRC-494 is a 40-channel emergency citizen's band
weatheradio that is specially designed for emergency situations. It comes
with a handy carrying case so you can easily move it from one vehicle to
another. And, the TRC-494 is also a 3-channel weatheradio, which you can
use to receive weather information 24 hours a day.
You can power the TRC-494 from the cigarette-lighter socket in any vehicle
that has a 12-volt, negative ground electrical system. You can also power
the CB from the supplied battery pack.
Its features include:
CB/Weatheradio Switch - lets you quickly switch from the CB to the
weatheradio function.
Emergency Channel 9 Switch - immediately switches the CB to Channel 9,
the universal emergency channel.
Pll (Phase-Locked Loop) - provides reliable and exact tuning using a
Frequency Synthesizer frequency reference crystal.
Digital Channel-Number - makes it easy to see which channel is
Display selected.
Range Control - lets you eliminate background noise when no
strong signals are present.
Built-In Ceramic Filters - provide superior selectivity and prevent
adjacent-channel interference.
Built-in Automatic Noise - reduces noise caused by nearby electrical
Limiter (ANL) equipment, such as motors or automotive
ignition systems.
External Antenna Jack - lets you connect the TRC-494 to an external
CB radio antenna.
NOTE: The TRC-494 comes with a telescoping antenna that you can attach
directly to the CB. You can also attach it to the supplied magnet-
mount base for use when your vehicle is not moving. If you plan to
use the CB when your vehicle is moving, we recommend that you
purchase a standard mount antenna.
Important: REACT is a nationwide 24-hour network that monitors Channel 9.
Switch to Channel 9 in an emergency, and report the problem.
NOTE: REACT might not be available in all areas.
