REVERSING THE OFFSET
When you turn on the repeater offset, the HTX-400 uses the last
offset direction you set. To change the offset direction, press
+
.
+
appears in the display for a positive offset (the
FUNC
REV
transmit frequency is above the receive frequency) and – appears
for a negative offset (the transmit frequency is below the receive
frequency).
REVERSING THE TRANSMIT AND
RECEIVE FREQUENCIES
To swap the input and output frequencies, press
example, if you have set the radio to repeater operation on
446.940 with a negative offset, the radio would normally receive
on 446.94 and transmit on 446.340 MHz. After you press
+
the radio will receive on 446.340 and transmit on
FUNC
PTT
446.940. This feature is useful if you want to determine whether
you are close enough to another station to communicate on a
simplex frequency. While the other station is transmitting, reverse
the frequencies. If you can still hear the other station, you are
hearing them directly and do not need to use the repeater.
MELODY OPTIONS
Your radio can alert the receiver you are transmitting to by start-
ing that transmission with one of five selectable melodies. You
can also set your radio to play that same melody to announce that
you are receiving a transmission from a radio with the same set-
tings as yours. This lets you use the CTCSS to keep the radio si-
lent until the radio receives the CTCSS tone you have set. Then,
receiving the tone triggers the audio and activates the receive
alert melody.
