TRANSMITTING
Note
: We recommend you try receiving
transmissions before you transmit.
1. Follow Steps 1–9 under “Turning On
the CB and Receiving Transmis-
sions” on Page 12.
2. Hold down the microphone's talk
button and speak into the micro-
phone in a normal voice from about
2–3 inches away. TX/RX turns red,
and the SWR/RF/signal meter indi-
cates the strength of your transmis-
sion.
Note
: Do not speak too loudly when
transmitting. It does not make your
signal any stronger, and might dis-
tort your transmission.
3. When you finish transmitting,
release the microphone talk button.
TX/RX turns green. The TRC-446
can now receive transmissions.
4. To turn off the TRC-446, turn
OFF/
VOLUME
counterclockwise until you
hear it click.
