TRANSMITTING

1. Select the desired frequency.

Note: If you select a repeater frequency, the HTX-212 displays + or

– to show the offset direction. To operate with no offset (simplex) on

that frequency, press SHIFT until neither + nor – appears.

2. Press LOW so LOW appears on the display. This selects the low

power (10 watt) setting.

3. Press the push-to-talk button on the side of the microphone to

transmit. The signal strength meter shows half-scale for low power

(or full-scale for high power). Release the push-to-talk button to lis-

ten for a reply.

Notes:

• If the other party advises you to improve your signal, press LOW.

HIGH appears on the display, and the HTX-212 transmits at high

power (about 45 watts).

• If you try to transmit outside the permitted range (144.600 to

148.000 MHz default or 143.000 to 149.000 MHz if you extend the

range), the HTX-212 displays tF Err and beeps twice.

Transmitting DTMF Tones

To transmit DTMF tones, follow the steps for transmitting. While holding

down the push-to-talk button, press the digits on the microphone to trans-

mit the tones.

Note: If auto-reply is turned on, you must hold down push-to-talk while you

transmit. If auto-reply is off, you can release push-to-talk after you enter

the first digit. The HTX-212 transmits for 1 second after you enter the last

digit. See “Using Auto-Reply” on Page 33.

Caution: It is illegal to transmit if you do not have a Technician Class (or

higher) license issued by the FCC.
