HTX-400 Mini Handheld 70-Centimeter FM Amateur Transceiver
(190-1104)                 Features                   Faxback Doc. # 61410

Your RadioShack HTX-400 Mini Handheld 70-Centimeter FM Amateur Transceiver 
is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry almost anywhere.  The 
crystal controlled circuitry provides 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 Radio Operator's 
      License, and a call sign issued by the FCC to legally transmit using 
      this transceiver.  Transmitting without a license carries heavy 
      penalties. Getting a license is easier than ever. See "Introduction
      to Amateur Radio" in Faxback Doc. # 61411 for more information.

Here are some of your transceiver's features.

         Up To 1 Watt Output - the transceiver transmits at 200 mW output 
                               when powered by internal alkaline batteries
                               or at 1 Watt output when powered by an
                               external 9-volt power source.

CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded - both encodes and decodes 47 subaudible
Squelch System) Subaudible     tones to help reduce interference from
Tone                           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 memory locations for transmissions.

                  Power Save - conserves battery power when the 
                               transceiver is not transmitting or 
                               receiving.

Programmable Frequency Steps - lets you set the frequency increment for 
                               tuning or scanning to 5, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 
                               25, 50 kHz, or 1 MHz steps.

                Paging Tones - you can set the radio to play a short, 
                               selectable paging tone when it transmits, 
                               and sound the same tone when it receives a 
                               signal.

   Signal Strength Indicator - a graduated bar shows the relative strength 
                               of the received signal.

              Time-Out Timer - lets you set a maximum transmission time 
                               interval from 0 to 16-1/2 minutes in 
                               10-second increments.

       Busy Channel Lock Out - prevents transmitting while the selected 
                               channel is receiving a signal.

                    TX Delay - reduces squelch tail when communicating 
                               using CTCSS.

                  Scan Delay - delays the restart of scanning when the 
                               radio locks onto a channel.

  Earphone Jack and External - lets you connect an optional earphone, 
  Microphone Jack              external microphone, or combination headset
                               for more flexible operation.

         External power Jack - lets you use an external power source for 
                               maximum output.

         30 Memory Locations - lets you store up to 30 frequencies and 
                               other settings.

                  Back Light - makes your transceiver easy to operate in 
                               low light situations.

                    Key Lock - lets you lock the transceiver's keys to 
                               prevent accidentally changing settings.

We recommend you record your transceiver's serial number here.  The number 
is on the transceiver's back panel.
