FEATURES

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.

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 second-
ary clock to another time zone so you
can quickly check the time in another
part of the world.

Scan Tuning — lets you quickly find
stations.

Memory Tuning — stores up to 54 fre-
quencies in memory so you can quick-
ly select your favorite stations.

Direct-Access Tuning — lets you use
the keypad to directly enter a frequen-
cy you want to listen to.

Rotary Tuning Adjustment — lets
you select a higher tuning increment
for faster tuning, select a lower tuning
increment for fine tuning, or lock the ro-
tary tuning dial to prevent you from ac-
cidentally changing the frequency.

Control Lock — prevents you from
accidentally changing a setting.

Alarm (Standby) — lets you set the
buzzer to sound or the receiver to turn
on to wake you at a specified time.

Sleep Timer — lets you set the receiv-
er to turn off after a preset length of
time (15, 30, 60, or 90 minutes), so you
can fall asleep as you listen to it.
