FEATURES
Your RadioShack HTX-400 Mini Handheld 70cm FM Ama-
teur Transceiver is compact and lightweight, making it easy to
carry almost anywhere. The crystal controlled circuitry provides
accurate and stable channel 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.
200 mW/2 Watt Output — the transceiver automatically trans-
mits at 200 mW output when powered by internal batteries, or at
2 Watt output when powered by an external 9-volt power source.
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System subaudible
tone) — helps reduce interference from other nearby systems op-
erating on the same frequency. Encoding and decoding tone un-
locks squelch when received.
Repeater Offset — lets you select an appropriate offset value to
match a local repeater.
Scan — the transceiver scans frequency range and memory
channels 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.
