FEATURES
Your RadioShack HTX-252 2–Meter FM Mobile Transceiver is a
compact and versatile transceiver, perfect either in your vehicle

plied. Add an optional base-station antenna, cable, and a power
supply to make it your home transceiver. It is an all-around 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 legal-
ly 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 information.
