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.

Advanced view

Advanced view provides access to additional settings that may need to be changed occasionally, but are not required in the day-to-day operation of the transceiver. Generally, the control point of the transceiver is in basic view so you must switch to advanced view. Advanced view is indicated by the presence of the advanced view indicator in the menu bar.

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

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.

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.

Muting the transceiver

When the transceiver is set to a channel or is scanning channels, and mute is switched off, you hear on-air signals on each channel. 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 mute V), or only when a call addressed to your station is received (Selcall mute S). If you have a digital voice encryptor fitted and active, you can also set the mute to open only when a digitally encrypted voice signal is detected (Digital Voice mute D).

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.
