1 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.kHz 1.6 Operating
The international distress and call frequency 2182 kHz may be used for distress communication, urgency and safety transmissions, as well as ordinary calls between stations participating in the maritime mobile service. The distress call must have absolute priority over all other transmissions.
The operating panel is provided with a very high quality push-button keyboard panel offering an attractive solid feel. Furthermore, keyed operations are instantly confirmed by means of the display read-out. To ensure safe operation under all conditions, the keyboard is fitted with night-time illumination.

Distress

RX kHz TX kHz
The radiotelephone distress procedure must consist of: - The alarm signal (whenever possible) followed by: - the distress signal MAYDAY (three times). - The words this is. - The name of the ship in distress (three times). - MAYDAY (once). - The name of the ship. - The position expressed in longitude and latitude or by bearing to a familiar geographic point. - The nature of the distress and the kind of assistance needed. - Any other information which might facilitate the rescue, e.g. how many men on board.

DIM DUMMY LOAD

Simplex Communication

Urgency signal

The urgency signal consists of three repetitions of the group of words PAN PAN. The message must be addressed to a particular station or to all stations. The signal indicates that the calling station has a very urgent message to transmit concerning the safety of a ship or the safety of a person. The urgency signal must have priority over all other communications except distress.
The HF SSB Radiotelephone is normally operated in the simplex/semi-duplex mode. This means that communication only takes place in one direction at a time. To operate the system you have to press the handset switch and deliver your message, which must be ended with the word over. The switch is now released, allowing the other person to reply.

Safety Signal

The safety signal consists of the word SECURITY. The signal indicates that the station is about to transmit a message containing an important navigational or important meteorological warning. The safety signal must be transmitted on 2182 kHz, and the message which follows the call should be transmitted on a working frequency.

Duplex Communication

Silence Periods
Stations normally watch keeping on 2182 kHz must endeavour to watch for three minutes twice each hour beginning at xx hour 00 and xx hour 30 UTC, the so called silence periods. During silence periods distress and urgency traffic are allowed only. However, safety signals may be transmitted during the last 10 seconds of a silence period.
If your HF SSB Radiotelephone is fitted with the Duplex Receiver R2120, you have the opportunity to communicate in full duplex mode. This means that communication can take place in both directions at the same time. To operate the system you just have to press the handset switch and then make your conversation.

11.1 General

To obtain the facility of telegraphy, your HF SSB Radiotelephone System must be fitted with the Duplex/Telegraphy Receiver R2120T and the CW Unit H2185. The interconnection between these units and the standard equipment for simplex radiotelephony is shown in the block diagram. The selection of frequencies and mode is performed from the Keyboard of the Receiver/Exciter RE2100. The mode used for telegraphy is named CW, which stands for Continuous Waves.

11.2 CW Unit H2185

The CW Unit H2185 is used as interface between the Morse Key and the Radio System. The transmitted symbols (dots and dashes) are transformed into an audible tone by means of the Side Tone Oscillator inside H2185. The frequency of this tone is factory adjusted to 600 Hz, but it can easily be adjusted to another frequency by means of a potentiometer at the rear panel of H2185. The volume is controlled by means of the Volume Control at the front plate of H2185, which also includes on/off switches for external and internal loudspeakers. The CW Unit H2185 also includes a connector for a Headset, which contains both microphone and earpiece. The Headset is always listening-in when the telegraphy mode is selected, but it can also be used for both simplex and duplex radiotelephony. The activation of the microphone and thereby the transmitter is controlled by means of the foot switch PTT (Press To Talk).

The mode lamp CW will now light up.
11.4 Start Transmission of Telegraphy
When Telegraphy mode has been selected, activate the Morse Key for a short moment. When the Morse Key is released and the possible tune procedure is ended, the transmitter will be turned off. The Exciter will still be active and generate a carrier signal ready for Telegraphy transmission. Now, every time the Telegraphy Key is activated, the transmitter will be turned on for a period equal to the key activation time. This means that the Telegraphy System is ready for use and thereby ready for transmission of dots and dashes.

11.5 Stop Transmission of Telegraphy
To turn off the Exciter and thereby stop the transmission of telegraphy press:
11.6 Enter BFO Control Mode
The frequency of the BFO (Beat Frequency Oscillator) is factory adjusted to give an audio signal with a frequency of 1000 Hz, every time a dot or a dash is received. The frequency of the BFO can be adjusted from the keyboard at the Receiver/Exciter Unit RE2100 to give an audio signal from 300 Hz to 1,4 kHz. To change the frequency of the BFO, please follow the procedure described below. Select Telegraphy mode as described in section 11.3. To enter BFO control mode, press:
