SETTING THE REPEATER OFFSET
DIRECTION

1. Set an offset frequency other than 0.0.

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 “” 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-200.

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
146.940 with a positive offset, the radio would normally receive
on 146.94 and transmit on 146.340 MHz. After you press

FUNC

+

PTT,

the radio will receive on 146.340 and transmit on

146.940.

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.
