Radio Shack HTX-242 Selecting a Frequency, Directly Entering a Frequency, Tuning to a Frequency

Selecting a Frequency

You can select a frequency in any of three ways:

•Direct entry

•Tuning

•Scanning

Directly Entering a Frequency

1.Press VFO to select either VFO-Aor VFO-B.

2.Enter the last five digits of the frequency. For example, to enter 145.050, simply press 45050.

Notes:

•The HTX-242 rounds the last digit down to 5 or 0.

!• The HTX-242 does not accept entries outside its range.

•If you have turned on the AS option, the HTX-242 automatically selects the correct duplex offset for frequencies normally assigned to repeaters and selects no offset for other frequencies. See “Turn- ing Auto Duplex On and Off” on Page 25.

Tuning to a Frequency

1.Press VFO to select either VFO-Aor VFO-B.

2.Rotate TUNE, or press UP or DOWN on the microphone, to step through the frequencies.

Notes:

•You can set the HTX-242 to step in 5, 10, 12.5, 20, 25, 50, or 100 kHz increments. The default is 20 kHz. See “Setting the Frequency Step” on Page 19.

!• To step in 1 MHz increments, press MHz. Press MHz again to return to the previous frequency step.

•If you have turned on the AS option, the HTX-242 automatically selects the correct duplex offset for frequencies normally assigned to repeaters and selects no offset for other frequencies. See “Turn- ing Auto Duplex On and Off” on Page 25.
