Radio Shack DX-392 owner manual Features, Digital Synthesized Receiver

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 Broadcast- ing 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 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 re- corder to record your favorite pro- grams live or at a preset time.
