What to do if speaker audio is not heard on Standard Horizon HX290 Transceiver?
If the speaker audio is not heard when you press and hold a key on your Standard Horizon Transceiver, there could be a couple of reasons. First, the battery might be low, so try charging it. Second, the audio volume level might be too low; in that case, turn the VOL knob clockwise to increase the volume.
Why some keys do not operate on my Standard Horizon HX290?
If some keys on your Standard Horizon Transceiver do not operate, it is possible that the Key Lock is activated. To resolve this, you should turn the Key Lock off.
How to fix Standard Horizon HX290 when the key does not start the scan?
If the key does not start the scan on your Standard Horizon Transceiver, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, there might be no channels memorized. You need to enter desired channels into the Preset Channels or Scan Memory Channels. Second, the squelch might not be adjusted properly. Adjust the squelch to the threshold or to the point where noise just disappears. Be careful, because further adjustment of the squelch control may eliminate incoming signals.
