Features

Your RadioShack BTX-127 CTCSS •

VHF/FM Business Band Transceiver is a

portable, two-way business radio service

transceiver that you can carry almost

anywhere. The transceiver is compact

and light, making it an ideal choice for

your business needs.

Your transceiver has these features:

Programmable Frequencies — an au-

thorized service facility can program the

transceiver to any VHF business band

frequency you have a license to use —

no crystals to buy!

Note: Your local RadioShack store must

send the transceiver to an authorized

service facility to program the transceiv-

er with a frequency. You must show your

license to store personnel.

38-Tone CTCSS (Continuous Tone Con-

trol Squelch System) — helps reduce in-

terference from other transceivers which

are operating on the same frequency, in

the same area.

Rechargeable Long-Life Battery Pack

and Battery Charger — the supplied bat-

tery charger lets you conveniently re-

charge your transceiver’s long-life

battery pack while it is on the transceiv-

er.

PLL-Controlled Circuitry — provides ac-

curate and stable channel selection.

High/Low Power Switch — lets you in-

crease the transmitted signal strength

to increase the transceiver’s range, or

decrease it to save battery power.

Earphone/Speaker Jack and External

Microphone Jack — let you connect

an external earphone or speaker and

an external microphone to help ensure

understandable communications in

noisy areas.

Built-In Modulation Limiter Circuit —

automatically adjusts for a wide variety

of voice levels to ensure an under-

standable transmission.

Battery Low Indicator — shows the

battery pack’s condition.

19-1206.fm Page 2 Tuesday, August 3, 1999 10:50 AM

Flexible Antenna — provides excellent

reception.

Belt Clip — lets you attach the transceiv-

er to your belt or waistband.

The transceiver’s preset frequencies

are:

• 151.625 MHz (red dot)

• 151.700 MHz

• 151.760 MHz

• 151.820 MHz

• 151.880 MHz

• 151.940 MHz

• 151.955 MHz (purple dot)

• 154.570 MHz (blue dot)

• 154.600 MHz (green dot)

Note: Some manufacturers identify

some business band frequencies by col-

or. These “dot” frequencies are shown

above.

We recommend you record your trans-

ceiver’s serial number here. The number

is on the back of the transceiver.

FCC License Required

This transceiver is intended for use in

the operation of commercial activities,

educational, philanthropic, or ecclesiasti-

cal institutions, and hospitals, clinics, or

medical associations.

The Federal Communications Commis-

sion (FCC) requires you to have a li-

cense before you operate this

transceiver. Unless you are already li-

censed to operate on one of the preset

frequencies, you must apply for a fre-

quency through the PCIA (Personal

Communication Industry Association), a

non-profit organization that assigns fre-

quencies nationwide to help prevent

conflicts between different businesses

using transceivers in the same area. For

more information about getting a license,

contact the PCIA at 800-759-0300, ex-

tension 3068 (in Virginia 703-739-0300,

extension 3068).

For other questions concerning the li-

cense application, contact the FCC at

717-337-1212, or write:

FCC

P.O. Box 1040

Gettysburg, PA 17325

For the latest FCC application form and

instructions, call the FCC’s fax-on-de-

mand service at 1-202-418-0177 from a

fax machine and request one or more of

the following documents:

To receive: You enter:

All forms and instructions 000600

Form 600 instructions only 006001

If you do not have a fax machine, you

can call the Government Forms Distri-

bution Center at 1-800-418-FORM and

request that the form and instructions

be mailed to you.

FCC Part 90 Rules

You must be familiar with Part 90 of

FCC Rules before you operate your

transceiver. The operation instructions

in this manual conform to Part 90, but

do not cover all items in Part 90.

Overall, Part 90 states that:

• You must have a valid license

before you use the transceiver.

19-1206.fm Page 5 Tuesday, August 3, 1999 10:50 AM

• As licensee, you are responsible for

proper operation of all transceivers

operating under your license author-

ity.

• You can let unlicensed persons

operate this transmitter, as long as

you take precautions to prevent

unauthorized transmissions.

• You must use this transceiver only

for the commercial use of your busi-

ness, and only when other commer-

cial channels (such as the

telephone) are either not available

or not practical.

• You must always yield the operating

frequency to communications that

involve the safety of life or property.

• You must take reasonable precau-

tions to prevent harmful interference

to other services operating on the

same frequency.

• You must not transmit program

material of any kind used in connec-

tion with commercial broadcasting.

• You must not provide a service

that is normally handled by tele-

phone or telegraph unless such

broadcasts involve the safety of

life or property or in emergencies

such as an earthquake, hurricane,

flood or a similar disaster where

normal communication channels

are disrupted.

• During each transmission or

exchange of transmissions, you

must identify your station with the

call sign issued to you by the

FCC, or once each 15 minutes

during periods of continuous

operation.

• You must keep a written record of

any maintenance or modification

made to the transceiver, and you

must make this record available

for inspection upon demand by

the FCC.

Violating any of the provisions of Part

90 can result in fines and/or confisca-

tion of equipment.

19-1206.fm Page 6 Tuesday, August 3, 1999 10:50 AM

Your transceiver might cause TV or radio

interference even when it is operating

properly. To determine whether your

transceiver is causing the interference,

turn off your transceiver. If the interfer-

ence goes away, your transceiver is

causing it. Try to eliminate the interfer-

ence by:

• moving your transceiver away from

the receiver

• contacting your local RadioShack

store for help

If you cannot eliminate the interference,

the FCC requires that you stop using

your transceiver.

Additional FCC Regulations

The Business Radio Service is under the

jurisdiction of the Federal Communica-

tions Commission (FCC). Any adjust-

ments or alterations that would alter the

performance of the transceiver so it no

longer meets the original FCC type ac-

ceptance or would change the frequen-

cy-determining method are strictly

prohibited.

Replacement or substitution of crystals,

transistors, ICS, regulator diodes, or any

other component that is of a unique na-

ture with components other than those

recommended can violate the technical

regulations of the FCC rules or violate

type acceptance requirement of the

rules.

Before you operate the transceiver,

you must obtain your license. It is ille-

gal to transmit without the appropriate

license, which you can get by submit-

ting a completed FCC Form 600 to the

FCC (or through the PCIA). Further-

more, you are required to understand

Part 90 of the FCC Rules and Regula-

tions prior to operating your transceiv-

er. It is the user’s responsibility to see

that this unit is operating at all times in

accordance with the FCC Rules and

Regulations.

19-1206.fm Page 9 Tuesday, August 3, 1999 10:50 AM

Notes:

• A nickel-cadmium battery pack lasts

longer and delivers more power if

you occasionally let it fully dis-

charge. To do this, use the trans-

ceiver until the RX/TX indicator

lights yellow when you press PUSH

TO TALK.

• To prevent damaging a nickel-cad-

mium battery pack, never charge it

in an area where the temperature is

above 113°F (45°C) or below 32°F

(0°C).

Important: At the end of a rechargeable

battery pack’s useful life, it must be recy-

cled or disposed of properly. Contact

your local, county, or state hazardous

waste management authorities for infor-

mation on recycling or disposal pro-

grams in your area. Some options that

might be available are: municipal curb-

side collection, drop-off boxes at retail-

ers such as your local RadioShack store,

recycling collection centers, and mail-

back programs.

Connecting THE Antenna

Follow these steps to attach the sup-

plied flexible antenna to your trans-

ceiver.

1. Align the slots around the

antenna’s connector with the tabs

on the antenna jack on top of the

transceiver.

2. While squeezing the base of the

antenna, press the antenna down

over the jack and turn the

antenna’s base clockwise until it

locks into place.
