Receiving Transmissions - Realistic HTX-202 Manual

Scan limits: 144 MHz to 148 MHz
To stop scanning, press \/SC, /\SC, CA, PR, VF, or turn off the
transceiver.
SCANNING FOR A VACANT FREQUENCY
In some areas where the 2-meter band is being used heavily, you might
have
trouble quickly finding a frequency not being used. To quickly scan for a
vacant frequency, press F+V - SC. The transceiver scans up or down from
the current frequency to the first unused frequency. To change the vacant
scan direction, see "Setting the Vacant Scan Direction."

RECEIVING TRANSMISSIONS

To receive transmissions, turn on the transceiver, adjust the volume and
squelch, and tune to a frequency.
TRANSMITTING
There are two basic types of communication you can use with this
transceiver. These types are sometimes referred to as SIMPLEX and
DUPLEX.
With simplex transmissions, you transmit and receive on the same frequency.
With duplex transmissions, you transmit on one frequency and receive on
another. Duplex transmission is the communication type you use when you
communicate using a repeater. You transmit to the repeater on one
frequency (the input frequency), and the repeater retransmits the signal
at a different frequency (the output frequency).
CAUTION: Do not transmit if you do not have a Technician Class or higher
license issued by the FCC. Doing so is illegal.
Follow these steps to communicate using simplex communications.
1. Turn on the transceiver.
