Radio Shack HTX-400 owner manual Transmitting

TRANSMITTING

There are two basic types of communication possible with this transceiver: radio-direct-to-radio (simplex) or radio-to repeater-to radio (duplex). Simplex operation uses the same frequency to send and receive. Duplex operation uses one frequency to trans- mit and another to receive. For more information about duplex, see “Understanding Repeaters” on Page 26.

Caution: It is illegal to transmit if you do not have at least a Tech- nician Class license issued by the FCC.

Follow these steps to transmit.

1.Select the desired frequency using manual or direct entry.

2.Hold the HTX-400 about 3 inches from your mouth.

3.Hold down PTT, then speak slowly and clearly into the micro- phone. TX appears while you transmit.

Note: If you try to transmit outside the transmit frequency range, inhibit briefly appears.

4.Release PTT when you finish transmitting.
