Selecting a Frequency
You can select a frequency in any of three ways:
• Direct entry
• Tuning
• Scanning
Directly Entering a Frequency
1. Press VFO to select either VFO-A or VFO-B .
2. Enter the last five digits of the frequency. For example, to
enter 145.050, simply press
45050 .
Tuning to a Frequency
1. Press VFO to select either VFO-A or VFO-B .
2. Rotate TUNE , or press UP or DOWN on the microphone, to step
through the frequencies.
Notes:
• The HTX-242 rounds the last digit down to 5 or 0.
• The HTX-242 does not accept entries outside its range.
• If you have turned on the AS option, the HTX-242 automatically
selects the correct duplex offset for frequencies normally assigned
to repeaters and selects no offset for other frequencies. See “Turn-
ing Auto Duplex On and Off” on Page 25.
Notes:
• You can set the HTX-242 to step in 5, 10, 12.5, 20, 25, 50, or 100
kHz increments. The default is 20 kHz. See “Setting the Frequency
Step” on Page 19.
• To step in 1 MHz increments, press MHz . Press MHz again to
return to the previous frequency step.
• If you have turned on the AS option, the HTX-242 automatically
