DX-392 PLL All-Band Portable Receiver with Cassette Recorder
(200-0219A/B) Features Faxback Doc. # 39685
Your Radio Shack DX-392 PLL All-Band Portable Receiver with Cassette
Recorder brings the voices of the world to you. In the 13 international
short-wave (SW) bands, you can hear news broadcasts and other programs from
sources such as the British Broadcasting Company, Radio Cairo and Radio
Moscow.
You can get emergency information firsthand by listening to amateur radio
broadcasts, which include single side-band (SSB) voice transmissions and
continuous wave (CW) Morse code transmissions.
In the longwave (LW) band, you can sometimes hear hurricane reports, ship-
to-shore calls, and other marine and aeronautical services. You can tune to
local broadcasts in the FM and medium-wave (MW) bands. (In the United
States, we commonly call the MW band the AM band.) In addition, you can use
the built-in cassette recorder to record your favorite programs live or at a
preset time.
Special features include:
Digital Synthesized Receiver - ensures accurate, drift-free tuning.
Large, Fast-Response Display - lets you quickly and easily view the time,
band and frequency, signal strength, and
other indicators.
Dual Time - lets you set a primary clock to your local
time and a secondary clock to another time

another part of the world.

Memory Tuning - stores up to 45 frequencies in memory so you
can quickly select your favorite stations.
Direct-Access Tuning - lets you use the keypad to directly enter a

faster tuning, select a lower tuning incre-
ment for fine tuning, or lock the rotary

replaced.
Back-Up Battery Power - keeps the clock running, protects the
stations stored in memory, and powers the

source is interrupted.

the memory location numbers of your favorite
stations.
For your permanent records, we recommend you record the serial number of
your receiver in the space provided. The serial number is located inside
