Changing the Default Offset
Follow these steps to change the default offset for the VFO modes.
1. Press VFO .
2. Hold F for at least 1 second. FUNC flashes.
3. Press SHIFT . The HTX-242 displays oS and the current offset
(in MHz).
4. Rotate TUNE , press UP or DOWN on the microphone, or
directly enter the step using the microphone’s keypad to
select an offset default (from 0 to 38 MHz).
5. Press SHIFT or PTT to save the setting.
Reversing the Offset
To reverse the transmit and receive frequencies when you operate
duplex, press
F then REV . For example, if you tune to 146.940
(which has a – offset), pressing F then REV makes the transceiver
receive on 146.340 and transmit on 146.940. The setting returns
to the default if you change frequencies.
Overriding the Duplex Offset
When you tune to a frequency, the HTX-242 automatically selects
either simplex operation, or duplex operation with the correct off-
set direction (if the auto duplex option is on). To override this set-
ting, press
SHIFT . Each time you press SHIFT , the offset switches
between +, –, and no offset. The setting returns to the default if you
change frequencies.
Note: This setting does not affect frequencies already stored in memory.
