You can use a transmit tone, a receiver tone,
or both. For example, if the selected repeater
uses a receive only CTCSS tone, enable the
transmit tone but not the receive tone on the
HTX-420.
To enable only the transmit (TX) tone, press
F + T.SQL ( 1 ).

To enable only the receive (RX) tone, press

When you store a frequency in one of the 100
memory locations, all settings chosen for the
selected frequency are stored as well. Before
you store a frequency (see “Storing a
Transmit/Receive Frequency” on Page 5),
select the Subaudible Tone Frequencies first.

DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi Frequency) tones
are those typically associated with the use of
your telephone. Your transceiver can
transmit up to 16 separate DTMF tones and
store a sequence of tones in up to 6 different
memory locations (d1 to d6). You can use
DTMF to transmit to a land-patch that is
connected to a telephone line. This also lets
you enable or disable certain repeater
functions, which is handy if you are involved
with repeater administration. You can also
signal to another radio equipped to receive
DTMF codes.

to select the desired DTMF memory
location.
3. Enter up to 16 characters ( 0 through 9 ,
and A through F ; E=

sounds a short beep for each entry, and
a long beep to indicate the sixteenth
character. If you try to enter more than
16 characters, the radio sounds two
short beeps.
4. To confirm the DTMF characters, hold
down F and rotate CH , or press

press
F + CLR ( 6 ) and repeat Step 3
again.
To enter another DTMF sequence,
repeat Steps 2–4.

in the selected memory location. The
transceiver returns to the VFO mode.
