Your RadioShack DX-398 All-Band
Shortwave Receiver with Radio Data
System brings you the voices of the
world. In the 14 international short-
wave (SW) bands, you can hear news
broadcasts and other programs from
sources around the world, such as the
British Broadcasting Corporation, Ra-
dio Cairo, and Radio Beijing. You can
set your receiver so it displays Radio
Data System (RDS) call letters of
those stations that transmit an RDS
signal.
You can get emergency information
firsthand by listening to amateur radio
broadcasts, including single sideband
(SSB) voice transmissions.
In the longwave (LW) band, you can
hear ship-to-shore calls, other marine
and aeronautical services, and some-
times even hurricane reports. You can
also 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 connect a cassette
recorder to the receiver’s record line
out and standby jacks so you can di-
rectly record your favorite programs
live or at a preset time.
