32 ENVOY™ TRANSCEIVER REFERENCE MANUAL

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 channels are scanned in a continuous cycle. By default, mute is switched on automatically when scanning is switched on.

NOTE: Only those scan tables that are set to be scanned have the channels

scanned.

By default, 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 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.

OPERATING THE TRANSCEIVER

SCANNING CHANNELS

When the transceiver detects a signal, 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. Voice mute also detects calls that are addressed to any station on the scanned frequency, and any other channel disturbances. If your transceiver is set to Selcall mute (S), it only pauses scanning when it detects a call addressed to your station, regardless of the call system used.

Your choice of Voice or Selcall mute depends on whether or not you have to detect voice signals, and how much noise and traffic you want to hear.

It is recommended that scanning is switched on when you are not using the transceiver to communicate so that you are able to receive calls on any frequency in the scanned scan tables.

If a call is in progress, the call is ended and the transceiver begins scanning.

If a call from a modem (or any other peripheral device) is in progress, you are prompted to break the system lock to resume scanning.

NOTE: When scanning is switched on, mute is also switched on.

NOTE: If you press PTT while the transceiver is scanning, the scan is

stopped.

Pausing scanning

To pause scanning:

1 Do one of the following:

1 While scanning is paused, do one of the following:

• To pause scanning on the last-selected channel, press OK.

• To pause scanning and scroll to another channel, press or .

The channel/modes through which you can scroll are those in the scan tables that are being scanned. They are not listed alphabetically but in the order in which they are being scanned.

If you do not press a key within 30 sec, the transceiver automatically resumes scanning.

• To speak on the selected channel, hold down PTT.

• To resume scanning immediately, press OK.

• To stop scanning completely, press SCAN.

34 ENVOY™ TRANSCEIVER REFERENCE MANUAL

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 on mute.

You can set the mute to switch off when a voice signal or any other calling activity is detected (Voice mute V), or only when a call addressed to your station is received (Selcall mute S). Your choice of Voice or Selcall mute depends on whether or not you have to detect voice signals, and how much noise and traffic you want to hear. If you have a digital voice encryptor fitted and active, you can also set the mute to switch off only when a digitally encrypted voice signal is detected (Digital Voice mute D).

By default, mute automatically switches on when the transceiver starts scanning. The transceiver listens for signals according to what is set in Settings > Scan Mute.

If the scan is paused due to voice being detected, the length of time that the transceiver holds the pause with mute off is set in Settings > Scan Voice Max Pause and Scan Voice Extend. Scanning only resumes automatically if the transceiver is set to start scanning after a timeout period.

The microphone on the handset is located at the top between the and keys. 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

On the desk console, you can speak directly into the boom microphone.

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.

OPERATING THE TRANSCEIVER

USING THE MICROPHONE

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 off this feature.

Making a Channel Test call

A Channel Test call enables you to test the quality of a channel/mode in a Codan Selcall HF network, and is sometimes referred to as a Beacon call. If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed, a Channel Test call may be made in an ALE/CALM HF network to replace information in the LQA database, and to perform a manual sounding operation.

There are two ways to test the quality of a channel/mode in a Codan Selcall HF network. You can test the channel before you make the call, or you can start to make the call and then test the channel prior to connecting.

Making a Channel Test call in a Selcall HF network

If you want to test the suitability of a channel/mode before you use it to transmit voice or data, make a Channel Test call to a specific station. The quality is determined by the strength and clarity of a revertive signal.

NOTE: If you set up one of the status areas to show the Rx level, you can view

the strength of the revertive signal.

To make a Channel Test call in a Selcall HF network:

1 Press CALL.
