Scanning for a Frequency
1.Press VFO to select either VFO-Aor VFO-B.
2.Press F. Then press ▲ to scan up or ▼ to scan down.
Notes:
•You can set the HTX-242 to scan in 5, 10, 12.5, 20, 25, 50, or 100 kHz steps. The default is 20 kHz. See “Setting the Frequency Step” on Page 19.
•You can program up to five frequencies for the HTX-242 to skip when scanning. See “Storing Scan Skip Frequencies” on Page 20.
•When the HTX-242 reaches one end of the scanning range, it starts over at the other end. To set the scanning range, see “Set- ting the Scanning Range” on Page 21.
!• When the HTX-242 stops on a transmission, it either stops scan- ning, resumes scanning in 10 seconds even if the transmission continues, or stays on the frequency until the transmission ends. To select the scan resume option, see “Setting the Scan Resume Condition” on Page 20.
•If you set the HTX-242 to resume scanning after the transmission ends, it pauses to ensure you do not miss a reply. To set the scan delay, see “Setting the Scan Resume Delay” on Page 21.
•If you press PTT on the microphone, scanning stops.
•To resume scanning after the HTX-242 stops, press MHZ.
Setting the Frequency Step
The factory default frequency step is 20 kHz. Each time you rotate TUNE one click, or press UP or DOWN on the microphone, the fre- quency changes by 20 kHz. When scanning, the HTX-242 scans up or down 20 kHz per step.
Follow these steps to change the frequency step.
1.Press VFO.
2.Press F then STEP. The HTX-242 displays St and the current frequency step.
3.Rotate TUNE, or press UP or DOWN on the microphone, to select the desired frequency step (5, 10, 12.5, 20, 25, 50, or 100 kHz).
4.Press MHz or PTT to save the setting.
