OVERVIEW OF BASIC AND ADVANCED VIEWS
Overview of basic and advanced views
There are two views of information in the user interface of the
control point: basic and advanced. The contents of basic and
advanced views are pre-determined and cannot be changed.
Basic view
Basic view provides a condensed view of the user interface, and
typically the view at which the control point is operated. When you
power up the transceiver, the control point enters basic view. Basic
view is indicated by the absence of an advanced view indicator in
the menu bar.
Figure 9:Basic view (no advanced view indicator)
Basic view provides access to items that are likely to be changed on
a regular basis, or the user may want to change to suit their
preferences for the day-to-day operation of the transceiver. The
user can switch to advanced view to access items that they may
want to change occasionally. The user should switch back to basic
view to simplify the view of information presented on the screen of
the control point.

STRUCTURE OF INFORMATION
STRUCTURE OF USER INFORMATION
Structure of user information
Information in the Envoy™ Transceiver is stored like blocks in a
building. Basic blocks are populated with information first, then
these blocks, along with different blocks, are assembled into larger
blocks. Ultimately, one of the top-level blocks is used to make a
call.
The most basic block is a frequency. A frequency is combined with
a mode, say USB or LSB, and a name to become a channel.
Channels may be grouped into scan tables. Scan tables may be
allocated to HF networks. An HF network defines the call system
by which a call is made.
Further blocks may be assembled for the convenience of the user.
A contact stores information on the typical calls that can be made
to a person. Each call is defined by the HF network and the call
type.
How these blocks are assembled is up to the system administrator.
There is, of course, finer detail that needs to be included, however,
the basic structure of information in the transceiver is shown in
Figure 20.

Structure of contact and call
information
A contact holds information on calls that you make to a particular
person. You may have several methods of calling the same person.
Each method that you use is bundled into a call for that contact. The
basic building blocks that you require to define a call to a contact
is the HF network that will be used, the type of call that you want
to make, and the address or telephone number at which the person
will answer the call. The basic structure of call information in a
contact is shown in Figure 21.

Scanning channels
If you intend to receive calls on several channels, switch on
scanning. When scanning is switched on, the transceiver
sequentially selects each channel/mode in your scan tables to detect
incoming calls. The channel are scanned in a continuous cycle.
Mute is switched on automatically.
NOTE:Only those scan tables that are set to be scanned have
the channels scanned.
When the transceiver detects a call addressed to your station, it
stops scanning and notifies you according to the type of call
received. When you press SCAN to end the call, scanning resumes.
If you do not press this key to end the call, or any other key within
a pre-determined timeout, the transceiver automatically ends the
call and resumes scanning.
NOTE:The default standby state for the transceiver is to
return to scanning so that it is ready to receive calls
across a range of frequencies.
When the transceiver detects voice, it notifies you according to the
mute setting selected. If your transceiver is set to notify you when
voice is detected (V), you can pause scanning, select the
channel/mode on which the voice was heard, then resume scanning
when required. If your transceiver is set to Selcall mute (S), it only
pauses scanning when it detects a call addressed to your station.

When the transceiver is set to a channel or is scanning channels,

If you do not want to listen to this, you can silence the transceiver
by switching mute on.
You can set the mute to open when a voice signal is detected (Voice

USING THE MICROPHONE
Using the microphone
The microphone is located at the top centre of your handset. When
you talk into the microphone:
•hold the microphone side-on and close to your mouth
•hold down PTT
•speak clearly at your normal volume and rate
•release PTT to return to receiving mode
NOTE:By default, the transceiver is set up to transmit a
short beep when you release PTT. This removes the
need for you to say ‘over’ at the end of your
transmission.
CAUTION: Your conversation can be monitored by anyone
tuned to your transmit frequency, unless you are
using one of Codan’s encryption options. Your
signal can potentially travel very large distances.
If PTT is held continuously for a certain length of time, the system
stops transmission, switches to receive and shows an error message
on the control point. This ensures that, even if the PTT button is
being held down accidentally, the battery will not be flattened, and
your transceiver is ready to receive calls.
You can set the length of time the system waits before it cuts
transmission (default is 10 min), or switch this feature off.
