HTX-10 10-Meter Transceiver
(190-1110A) Special Features Faxback Doc. # 60265
Using the Special Features
Your transceiver has several advanced features that give you additional
control and convenience while using it.
This list provides additional information about your transceiver's special
features. All the special features listed below are discussed in detail
on the following pages of this section.
Feature:
STEP - let's you change the increment you set to tune
frequencies in the 10-meter band.
CALL - recalls a specific frequency in memory channel
2.
SCAN - scans incoming signals.
LAST CHANNEL RECALL - returns to the last channel that was
transmitted.
M-LOAD - recalls frequencies stored in memory channels
1-5.
NB (Noise Blanker) - reduces electrical noise.
SHIFT - lets you set the frequency shift direction and
offset frequency.
T-LOW (Tone Low) - turns the high-cut filter on or off.
M-SAVE (Memory Save) - saves up to five frequencies into memory
channels.
FINE (Clarifier) - tunes in stations or tunes out interference
broadcast using an SSB signal.
RF-G (RF Gain) - attenuates strong signals.
MIC-G (Microphone Gain) - reduces the microphone gain and SSB transmitting
power.
Using STEP
Repeatedly press STEP to select the frequency step your transceiver
displays when it shows a frequency. As you press STEP, one of the three
frequency digits flashes for about 2 seconds to show which digit is
selected. The increment that the selected digit displays is:
The rightmost digit: 1 kHz
The second digit from the right: 10 kHz
The third digit from the right: 100 kHz
Using CALL
The transceiver's call memory lets you quickly recall a specific frequency
in memory Channel 2.
Note: See "Using M-SAVE (Memory Save)," below for more information about
storing a frequency in memory channel 2.
Press CALL to recall the stored frequency at any time. The frequency
flashes.
Press CALL again and the last selected frequency appears.
Using SCAN
Press SCAN to scan incoming signals. SCAN appears and the transceiver
stops for 5 seconds on each channel when it detects a signal.
To stop scanning, press SCAN or the PTT button on the microphone. SCAN
disappears.
Using LCR (Last Channel Recall)
Press LCR to return to the last channel you selected.
Using M-LOAD
You can recall frequencies stored in Channels 1-5.
Note: See "Using M-SAVE (Memory Save)," below for more information about
storing frequencies in memory channels.
To recall a memory channel, press M-LOAD so L appears, then, press the
desired memory channel number.
Using NB (Noise Blanker)
If the transceiver's reception is disturbed by interference from
electrical noise (such as ignition noise), you can reduce the noise by
using the transmitter's noise blanker feature. To turn on or off the
noise blanker, press PUSH FUNC then NB. NB appears while the noise
blanker is on.
Using SHIFT
The transceiver's shift function lets you set the transmit frequency shift
from the receive frequency in either direction within the range of 0.0 Hz
to 990 kHz.
Follow these steps to set the frequency shift direction and offset
frequency.
1. To set the frequency shift direction to (+), press PUSH FUNC then
press SHIFT while FUNC appears. (+) SHIFT appears. Press PUSH FUNC and
SHIFT again while FUNC appears to set the frequency shift direction to
(-). (-) SHIFT appears.
2. Press PUSH FUNC then SHIFT for about 3 seconds. 000 appears.
3. Rotate TUNE to set the offset frequency to any frequency from 0 to 990
kHz.
4. To exit, hold down PUSH FUNC and SHIFT together for about 3 seconds.
Using T-LOW (Tone-Low)
Press PUSH FUNC then T-LOW to turn the high-cut filter on or off. LOW
appears when the high-cut filter is on.
Using M-SAVE (Memory Save)
Follow these steps to save up to five frequencies into memory channels.
1. Select the desired frequency.
2. Press PUSH FUNC then M-SAVE. S appears.
3. While S appears, press the desired memory channel number. The
transceiver stores the frequency you selected into the memory channel
you selected.
4. To recall a frequency you stored, see "Using M-LOAD," above.
Using FINE (Clarifier)
When you listen to an SSB signal, rotate FINE to tune in slightly off
frequency stations or to tune out interference from adjacent channels.
Using RF-G (RF Gain)
When you receive an extremely strong signal, rotate RF-G counterclockwise
to attenuate the signal.
Using MIC-G (Microphone Gain)
Rotate MIC-G to adjust the transmitter's microphone gain and SSB
transmitting power for the best audio quality.
Turning the Key Tone ON and OFF
The transceiver is preset to sound a tone each time you press a key. To
turn the transceiver's key tone ON or OFF, turn on the transceiver while
holding down the push-to-talk button on the microphone.
