OPERATION

TURNING ON THE HTX-400

To turn on the HTX-400, rotate VOL/OFF clockwise until it clicks. The HTX-400 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-400 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-400 is preset to receive frequencies between 420 and 470 MHz, and transmit between 430 and 450 MHz. To ex- pand the frequency coverage, see “Changing the Transmit Fre- quency Range” on Page 38.
