OPERATION

TURNING ON THE HTX-200

To turn on the HTX-200, rotate VOL/OFF clockwise until it clicks. The HTX-200 sounds a brief melody if the key tone feature is en- abled. Then HELLO appears for about 2 seconds and the last used frequency appears.

SELECTING FREQUENCIES (DIRECT TUNING)

You tune to the desired frequencies in the VFO (variable frequen- cy oscillator) mode. You can either step to a specific frequency or directly select the frequency.

To step to a frequency, repeatedly press or hold down or until the display shows the desired frequency.

Note: The HTX-200 steps up or down in increments which you set using the Frequency Step menu option. (See “Setting the Fre- quency Step” on Page 39).

To directly enter a frequency, press FUNC+ (the second digit from the left flashes), then press or to change the number. Press FUNC+ again to select the next digit. Repeat this to select each number of the desired frequency, then press PTT to store the selection.

Note: The HTX-200 is preset to receive frequencies between 136 and 174 MHz, and transmit between 144 to 148 MHz. To expand the frequency coverage, see “Changing the Transmit Frequency Range” on Page 38.
