OPERATION
TURNING ON THE HTX-200
To turn on the HTX-200, rotate VOL/OFF clockwise until it clicks.
The HTX-200 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-200 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-200 is preset to receive frequencies between 136
and 174 MHz, and transmit between 144 to 148 MHz. To expand
the frequency coverage, see “Changing the Transmit Frequency
Range” on Page 38.
