TRANSMITTING
There are two basic types of communication possible with this
transceiver: radio-direct-to-radio (simplex) or radio-to repeater-to
radio (duplex). Simplex operation uses the same frequency to
send and receive. Duplex operation uses one frequency to trans-
mit and another to receive. For more information about duplex,
see “Understanding Repeaters” on Page 26.
Caution:
It is illegal to transmit if you do not have at least a Tech-
nician Class license issued by the FCC.
Follow these steps to transmit.
1. Select the desired frequency using manual or direct entry.
2. Hold the HTX-400 about 3 inches from your mouth.
3. Hold down

range,
