Radio Shack HTX-400 owner manual Setting The Repeater Offset Direction

SETTING THE REPEATER OFFSET DIRECTION

1.Set an offset frequency other than 0.00.

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, must be flashing before you store the settings (see “Using the Calling-Fre- quency Memory” 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-400.

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 442.200 with a positive offset of 5 MHz, the radio would normally receive on 442.200 and transmit on 447.200 MHz. After you press FUNC+PTT, the radio will receive on 447.200 and transmit on 442.200.

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.
