Using the HTX-242 as a Base Station
Although we designed the HTX-242 primarily for use as a mobile
transceiver, you can also use it as a base station. To do so, you
need these items:
• 13.8-Volt DC regulated power supply that can supply at
least 10 amps continuous power
• Base station antenna
• 50-ohm coaxial antenna cable and connectors
Follow these steps to connect the HTX-242 as a base station.
1. Mount the base station antenna according to its instruc-
tions.
2. Connect the antenna cable to the antenna jack on the back
of the HTX-242.
3. Connect the black power wire to the power supply’s negative
(–) terminal.
4. Connect the red power wire to the power supply’s positive (+)
terminal.
5. Connect the power supply to a source of power.
Warning:
For your safety, follow all cautions and warnings included with
the base station antenna.
