SETTING THE REPEATER OFFSET DIRECTION

SETTING THE REPEATER OFFSET DIRECTION

1.Set an offset frequency other than 0.0.

2.Press FUNC + SC (RPT) to see the current offset direction (+ above or below).

3.Press FUNC + MO (REV) to change the repeater offset direc- tion.

Note: To save this setting in a memory location, REVERSING THE TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE FREQUENCIESManual background must be flashing before you store the settings (see “” on Page 31 and “Storing a Transmit/Receive Frequency” on Page 29). Otherwise, the setting reverts to its saved value the next time you turn on the HTX-200.

REVERSING THE TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE FREQUENCIES

To swap the input and output frequencies, press FUNC+PTT. For example, if you have set the radio to repeater operation on 146.940 with a positive offset, the radio would normally receive on 146.94 and transmit on 146.340 MHz. After you press FUNC+PTT, the radio will receive on 146.340 and transmit on 146.940.

This feature is useful if you want to determine whether you are close enough to another station to communicate on a simplex fre- quency. While the other station is transmitting, reverse the fre- quencies. If you can still hear the other station, you are hearing their signal directly and you do not need to use the repeater.
