INTRODUCTION
Your HTX-212 Two-Meter Mobile Transceiver is an exciting addition to
Radio Shack's growing line of high-quality amateur radio equipment. It
offers some of the most advanced, and most requested, features available
in a mobile transceiver. Be sure to read this entire manual to understand
how to use all the radio's features.
You must have a Technician Class or higher Amateur Radio Operator's
License and a call sign issued by the FCC to legally transmit using this
transceiver. Transmitting without a license carries heavy penalties. Get-
!
ting a license is easier than ever.
