I don't think there is a single-step method for this right now.  The easiest alternatives:

1) From the command-line, I think this will work:
	phenix.reflection_file_converter --resolution=2.2 --low-resolution=2.4 --mtz=subset.mtz data.mtz
	phenix.model_vs_data subset.mtz model.pdb --map-type=anomalous
(which will produce map coefficients in MTZ format)
If you run into problems, typing the command name alone will print out a list of options.

2) From the GUI: use the reflection file editor to output the resolution range you want, then the "Create maps" app to generate an anomalous map (in either MTZ or XPLOR format).  I will add resolution limits to the latter program soon.

However, I think a map calculated for 2.4-2.2A is going to look extremely distorted.
