The Radio Shack DX-394 Communications Receiver 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 Radio Japan, the
British Broadcasting Corporation, Radio Moscow and Radio Peking.

You can get emergency information firsthand by listening to ham radio
communications, including single sideband (SSB) voice transmissions and
continuous wave (CW) Morse code transmissions.

In the long wave (LW) band, you can hear ship-to-shore calls, other marine
and aeronautical services, and sometimes even hurricane reports.

You can tune to local broadcasts in the medium wave (MW) bands.  (In the
United States, we commonly call the MW band the AM band).

Your receiver has these special features:

     PLL Synthesized Receiver - ensures accurate, stable tuning.

Large, Liquid Crystal Display - shows the time, band and frequency,
                                signal strength, and other indicators.

                                time, and the other to UTC (Coordinated
                                Universal Time - also known as Greenwich
                                Mean Time) or to the local time of a city
