Radio Shack HTX-242 Using Memory Channels, Storing a Frequency, Changing Stored Settings

USING MEMORY CHANNELS

The HTX-242 has 40 standard memory channels and one calling- frequency memory, where you can store frequently-used frequen- cies, along with all settings, for quick access.

Storing a Frequency

1.Press VFO and tune to a frequency you want to store. Set all duplex and subaudible tone settings (see “Using Subaudible Tones” on Page 36), the transmit power setting, and the DTMF option.

2.To store the frequency in the calling-frequency memory, press and hold F for at least 1 second. FUNC flashes on the display. Then press CALL.

To store the frequency in a standard memory, press F. Rotate TUNE, or press UP or DOWN on the microphone, until the HTX-242 displays the desired memory number to the left of the frequency. Then press MR. The HTX-242 beeps twice and stores all settings into the selected memory channel.

Changing Stored Settings

To change the receive frequency, follow the steps under “Storing a Frequency.” To change the transmit frequency or a tone squelch option without changing the receive frequency, follow these steps.

1.To change the calling memory, press CALL.

To change a standard memory, press MR. Then rotate TUNE, or press UP or DOWN on the microphone, to select the mem- ory channel you want to change.

2.If you want to turn tone squelch on or off, repeatedly press T- SQL to select the desired tone squelch mode. (See “Using Subaudible Tones” on Page 36.)

3.For the calling-frequency memory, press and hold F for one second. Then press CALL.

For a standard memory, press F, then press MR.

The HTX-242 displays rF and the receive frequency, and M- CH flashes.
