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
transmit and another to receive. For more information about du-
plex, see “Understanding Repeaters” on Page 26.
Caution: It is illegal to transmit if you do not have at least a
Technician 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-200 about 3 inches from your mouth.
3. Hold down PTT , then speak slowly and clearly into the
microphone. 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.
