FEATURES

Your RadioShack HTX-10 10-Meter Transceiver is ideal for use in your vehicle. Its 25-watt SSB/FM and 7-watt AM output pro- vides the power you need to communicate, and its tuner covers the entire 10-meter Amateur Radio band (including the 28.3 to

28.5MHz Novice band). You can connect a DC power supply and base station antenna to your transceiver to set up a base station in your home. The transceiver’s crystal-controlled circuitry pro- vides accurate and stable channel selection, making it an ideal choice for your amateur communications needs.

Your transceiver has these advanced features:

Large, Illuminated, Digital Display — clearly shows the fre- quency, functions, and incoming signal strength.

1 kHz Frequency Resolution — lets you fine tune frequencies for optimum transmission and reception.

Scan — the transceiver scans its frequency range for transmis- sions.

MIC and RF Gain Control — lets you adjust the microphone and receiver gain to match the strength of the received signal.

Switchable Noise Blanker — reduces interference from ignition systems, motors, and other electrical equipment.

Squelch Circuit — compensates for signal fading and eliminates signal chopping.

Automatic Gain Control — maintains a constant volume level, regardless of the signal strength.

Built-In Automatic Modulation Control — ensures a constant

RF modulation level.

Universal Mounting Bracket — lets you mount your transceiver securely in your vehicle or on a shelf in your home.
