Mobile CB with Compass, Dual Watch and Digital
Weather Alert
Your RadioShack 40-Channel Mobile CB
Radio provides two-way communications on
the citizen's radio band and lets you tune to
local and national weather service broad-
casts. You can also connect optional equip-
ment to your CB such as external speakers,
or a DC power supply and base antenna to
set up a base station in your home. The built-
in 40-channel PLL (phase-locked loop) fre-
quency synthesizer uses a precise frequency
reference crystal for reliable and exact tun-
ing.
Ideal for recreational, business, or emergen-
cy use, your CB has these features:
Electronic Compass — provides accurate
heading information.
Dual Watch — checks one channel while re-
ceiving another channel so you do not miss
important transmissions. Dual Watch de-
faults to channel 9 (emergency call channel).
NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospher-
ic Administration) 7-Channel WX Band
Receiver — lets you tune to seven national
weather service frequencies which provide
local weather conditions and forecasts.
WX Channel Autoscan — In CB mode,
when a weather station carrier is lost, the CB
automatically scans weather channels so it
can detect a weather alert signal transmitted
with a weather signal.
WX/Signal Indicator — shows the CB is
ready to receive and indicates the reception
of a weather alert.

weather events (does not limit alerts to a
specific area).

duction in transmission and reception noise.
RF Gain Control — prevents overloading
due to strong RF signals.
Convenient On-Microphone Channel Up/
Down Controls — let you quickly scan the
band for communications.
Universal Mounting Bracket — lets you
mount your CB securely in your vehicle.
Specialized Squelch Circuit — compen-
sates for fading signals and eliminates signal
chopping during reception.
Maximum Allowable Legal Power Output
— gives you the greatest available range.
TX Indicator — lights to show when the ra-
dio is transmitting.
Digital Channel Display — makes the
channel number easy to see.
External Speaker Jack — lets you connect
your CB to an external speaker.
Screw-On Mic Connector — ensures a se-
cure microphone connection.
To use this CB, you need a mobile or base
station antenna. Your local RadioShack
store has a wide variety of antennas. For
