Programming Repeaters In The Radio Shack HTX-202
The Radio Shack HTX-202 2 Meter Hand Held HT is rock solid. Just ask any ham that owns one and you will get the same response — this brick is a workhorse! Here are some reviews of the HTX-202.
No it’s not fancy, it’s not small, it’s not real pretty (although it’s not ugly either), but it is reliable. The audio is spectacular for an HT. But programming this radio can be painful. I have 12 repeaters programmed in my radio. Here is how I did it…
HTX-202 HANDY REFERENCE GUIDE
1. Find a frequency by punching the D key (right bottom). Use the C key for repeaters once they are programmed. Keep in mind which number or in what order that you want to store repeater frequencies.
2. Press the * key to go backward, and the # key to go forward.
3. Press F + M-WR to save the settings once you have found the right frequency that you are looking for.
4. For the Offset of the repeater. Press F + +/- .
5. For the PL Tone. Press F + M-SET. Then press *(SC key bottom left).
6. Save settings with F + M-WR. Remember, you may have to save your settings after each procedure.
The F key is the one the left side of the HT; it’s just above the PT key. If these instructions are not clear, or perhaps you would like to know more about the HTX-202, here is the online manual (PDF).

1I noticed that when I attempted to power on my Radio Shack HTX-202 that it showed “ER1″ on the display. The manual said to hold down the F and L key while I powered it on. That had no effect, then I stumbled a page that described how to replace the internal battery, and that fixed the problem!

On The Squid ► If you’re wanting to stream content with a device such as Apple TV for example, but you do not have a flat screen TV, there’s a gadget that you might be interested in. The HDMI to RCA composite enables users to stream with the old style television. Yes, Apple fans can watch Apple TV with that old TV. Chromecast is another viable choice.
3. Roku Purple Light Keeps Blinking ... On The Squid ► The Roku set top box updates itself often. Not long after a reset I noticed one of the Roku boxes was doing something rather odd. The purple light continued to blink and it wouldn’t stop. The Roku unit worked great, but the purple light kept blinking. The light should not be blinking all of the time.

7. Cheaper Wire For Ham Antenna Projects ... On The Squid ► Especially for listening to the lower bands in this crazy unpredictable solar cycle, I’m accustomed to building my own antennas.
