Your RadioShack HTX-400 Mini Handheld 70-Centimater FM
Amateur Transceiver is compact and lightweight, making it easy
to carry almost anywhere. The crystal controlled circuitry pro-
vides accurate and stable frequency selection, making it an ideal
choice for your amateur communications needs.
Note
: You must have a Technician Class or higher Amateur Ra-
dio Operator’s License, and a call sign issued by the FCC, to le-
gally transmit using this transceiver. Transmitting without a
license carries heavy penalties. Getting a license is easier than
ever. See “Introduction to Amateur Radio” on Page 7 for more in-
formation.
Here are some of your transceiver’s features.
Up To 1 Watt Output
— the transceiver transmits at 200 mW out-
put when powered by internal alkaline batteries, or at 1 Watt out-
put when powered by an external 9-volt power source.
CTCSS
(Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System)
Subaudible
Tone
— both encodes and decodes 47 subaudible tones to help
reduce interference from other nearby systems operating on the
same frequency.
Repeater Offset
— lets you select the appropriate offset value to
match a local repeater.
Scan
— the transceiver scans the frequency range and the mem-
ory locations for transmissions.
Power Save
— conserves battery power when the transceiver is
not transmitting or receiving.
Programmable Frequency Steps
— let you set the frequency
increment for tuning or scanning to 5, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 50 kHz,
or 1 MHz steps.
