It doesn't make a difference how big your final is the radio will not except it. What I'm saying is if you install a 100 watt final into it ,no matter what you will only get a max of 25 watts because the radio cannot handle the 100 watt load.No if you start changing components inside the radio to obtain the 100 watts you are now in violation of fcc rules , unless you are a licensed tech , if you were then why are you asking this question. The best thing to do do is get a 100 watt amp and hook it up. you will be smoking the neighborhood.

    But the 100 watt amp on a CB radio is illegal of course. If you want to have more fun become a ham radio operator where more power is legal.

SOURCE: tunning the antenna on radio shack cb trc-447

After installing the antenna, follow these steps to adjust the
standing wave ratio(SWR).
1. Turn on the CB.
2. Set S/RF/SWR/CAL to CAL.
3. Key the Mic and rotate SWR CAL so the meter points
to CAL.
4. Unkey Mic.
5. Set S/RF/SWR/CAL to SWR.
6. Key Mic again and note the actual measurement on
the SWR scale. Refer to the following table to interpret
the reading.

1:1 - 1.5 Great
1.5 - 2:1 OK
2:1 - 3:1 Not So Good
Higher than 3.1:1 Terrible

The ideal standing wave ratio (SWR) is 1:1, or a meter
reading of 1 on the SWR meter's top scale. A SWR ratio
of 1.5:1 to 2:1 is excellent for most mobile CB antenna
applications.

Check the SWR on Channel 1 and Channel 40
If the SWR is higher on 1, make the antenna longer
If the SWR is higher on 40, make the antenna shorter
Most antenna's are adjustable. Make small adjustments at a time.

SOURCE: radio shack trc-447 cb. no controls function,

The units have a reset code that protects the PLL brain from damage from voltage spikes. Ship it in and I'll get it back to normal function for you, providing the PLL has not been damaged.

Thanks,

Need a replacement mic for a TRC 447. Can't find one, and Radio Shack is of no help....AT ALL !!!!

The radio takes an electret condenser microphone. You can also use a dynamic type in a pinch, but audio quality and strength varies depending on the microphone. Several sources for replacements came up from a search, and here's one. If you need to rewire the plug or install a different one to fit the replacement mike to the radio, wiring information is here.

Radio shack trc-447

According to the service manual for the TRC-447, the only adjustment is for "power" which is #L205. The only other step in the transmitter alignment is for the "S" meter.
On the Cobra, VR4 is AMC, L14,L13,L12 is AM power.
