Using the HTX-242 with Packet Radio
You can connect your HTX-242 directly to a packet radio terminal
node controller, as shown below.
Note: You can purchase an 8-pin plug that matches your HTX-
242’s
MIC jack at your local Radio Shack store (Cat. No. 279-440).
Connecting an External Speaker (Optional)
You can connect an external speaker to your HTX-242.
Use an 8-ohm communications or PA speaker that can handle 5 or
more watts of power (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 21-549). The
speaker’s cable must end in a
1 / 8 -inch plug. Simply plug the
speaker cable into the HTX-242’s EXT. SP jack.
If your vehicle has a cassette player, you can easily connect your
transceiver to your vehicle’s audio system using a CD-to-cassette
adapter and a mono-to-stereo audio plug.
