SETTING THE REPEATER OFFSET
DIRECTION
1. Set an offset frequency other than 0.00.
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 “Using the Calling-Fre-
quency Memory” 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-400.
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
442.200 with a positive offset of 5 MHz, the radio would normally
receive on 442.200 and transmit on 447.200 MHz. After you
press
FUNC
+
PTT,
the radio will receive on 447.200 and transmit
on 442.200.
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.
