Thank you for purchasing the TRX-200 all modes wide band monitoring
receiver.
Please read this operating manual carefully to avoid miss operation of the
receiver. The TRX-200 is carefully designed but like all receivers the radio
can suffer from a degree of self-oscillation known as ‘birdies’. These are
from the nature of super heterodyne circuit and do not represent a fault.
NOTE: Where the text is described in [SQUARE BRACKETS][SQUARE BRACKETS]
[SQUARE BRACKETS][SQUARE BRACKETS]
[SQUARE BRACKETS] the keys
are to be pressed exactly as shown.
For example: [8] [0] [0] [ENT][8] [0] [0] [ENT]
[8] [0] [0] [ENT][8] [0] [0] [ENT]
[8] [0] [0] [ENT]
This means press the numeric key 8, followed by the 0, key followed by the
0 key, followed by the [ENT][ENT]

To turn on TRX-200, press and hold the [PWR][PWR]
[PWR][PWR]
[PWR] key for more than 2.0 sec-
ond and you see starting message which can be edited to the way you like.
Similarly to turn the radio off, press and hold the power key for more than

Power requirement: TRX-200 can be operated from either three AA
size Ni-Cad. batteries, three AA size dry cell bat-
teries or external DC supply of 9 to 14V DC, 300mA
minimum.
Always use the supplied charger or regulated DC
power supply of 9 to 14VDC, 300mA or by using the provided DC connect-
ing lead. The DC input socket is 1.3mm centre positive.

Very carefully note the polarity of the battery cells. Also never attempt to
charge the receiver or connect to an external power source when dry bat-
teries are installed.Always remove dry batteries when they have run down.
Do not leave batteries in the battery compartment when the TRX-200 is
not being used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to avoid
leakage.
All memory channel data is stored into internal EEPROM which does not
require batteries or connection to external supply for backup. However
always turn off the TRX-200 whenever radio is not in use. Particularly
turn it off while charging.
