Your Radio Shack TRC-499 40-
Channel 2-Way CB Radio is a high
performance CB with the maximum
allowable legal power and innovative
styling.
This CB is perfect for recreational,
business, or emergency use. You
can call other people who have CBs
at home, in their vehicles, or at camp
sites. You can also connect optional
equipment to your CB, such as an
external PA speaker, or a DC power
supply and base station antenna to
set up a base station in your home.
Your CB has these features:
PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) Fre-
quency Synthesizer — provides reli-
able and exact tuning using a precise
frequency reference crystal.
Two Ceramic Filters — provide su-
perior selectivity and prevent adja-
cent-channel interference.
Hysteresis Squelch Circuit —
compensates for fading signals and
eliminates signal chopping during re-
ception.
Automatic Noise Limiting (ANL)
Circuit — reduces noise caused by
nearby electrical equipment such as
motors or automotive ignition sys-
tems.
DOWN/UP Channel Selector —
provides maximum convenience
when selecting channels.
LED Display — lets you easily see
the selected channel number.
Universal Mounting Bracket— lets
you mount your CB securely in your
vehicle or on a table or shelf in your
home.
Note: To use this CB, you need a
mobile or base station antenna. Your
local Radio Shack store has a wide
variety of antennas. For more infor-
mation, see “Installing an Antenna.”
For your records, we urge you to
record your CB’s serial number in the
space below. The serial number is on
the CB’s back panel.
