2-4 HF SSB transceiver reference manual
Where cables must pass through bulkheads with sharp edges,
the insulation of the cables should be protected by grommets.
Holes in the bulkhead need only be large enough to allow the
end of the cable with the smaller connector to pass through
(for example, the control cable between the control head and
the transceiver).
If the power and control cables are long and follow a
common path, keep the cables separated by a minimum
of 200mm. The cables can be closer together for short
distances, for example, to pass through the same hole in
the bulkhead.
Failure to observe this warning will cause distortion of
the transmitted audio signals.

Mounting the transceiver
The transceiver must be mounted in a position that:
•
allows easy access to the controls
•
allows a free flow of air through the rear cooling fins
•
is not exposed to direct sunlight
•
will not cause injury to occupants in the event of a
motor vehicle accident.
There are two types of mounting cradles that can be used
when installing your transceiver:
• code 117 mounting cradle—front entry
• code 118 mounting cradle—top/bottom entry.
Both types of cradle (supplied with six metres of DC power
cable) can be used to mount the transceiver. You must
determine the mounting position to best suit your needs.
Code 117 mounting cradle—front entry
This cradle is suitable for locations where there is enough
space available to slide the transceiver in and out.
To mount the cradle:
1. Secure the mounting cradle in position with the rotating
cam catches to the front. Ensure there is sufficient space
at the rear of the cradle to clear the transceiver heat sink
and connectors.

To mount the cradle:
1. Secure the mounting cradle into position with its spring
clips nearest the front. Ensure there is sufficient space at
the rear of the cradle to take the transceiver heat sink
and connectors.
2. Remove the front and rear fixing screws of the
transceiver side rails (the centre screw to be left
untouched).
Note that adaptor plates have to be fitted to the
transceiver side rails to secure the transceiver to the
cradle.
3. Secure the adaptor plates flush to the transceiver side
rails with the new screws provided, and fit one ‘O’ ring
over each projecting stud. The projecting studs on the
adaptor plates fit into the slides in the cradle.

Power supply
Ensure that the power supply to operate your transceiver is
12V DC.
Power can be provided by either a 12V battery (for mobile
stations) or a suitable power supply connected directly to the
mains (for fixed base stations).
All installations should be checked by a qualified technician
before power is applied to the transceiver.
The heavy duty six metre length of power cable, which is
supplied with the vehicle mounting cradle for mobile
stations, minimises the voltage drop between the battery and
transceiver during transmission. Do not use a thinner cable
than this.
Protect all cables from sharp edges and mechanical
abrasions.
We recommend that a suitable cartridge fuse (32 Amp—
accessory code 711) is fitted in the active wire, close to the
battery. This will protect the power cable from risk of fire
should damaged insulation touch the vehicle chassis. Do not
use normal glass in-line automotive fuses. The transceiver is
fitted with adequate internal protection.
Connect the power cable between the transceiver and the
battery or the AC power supply.
In extended control installations where the power and
control cables are long and follow a common path, keep
the cables separated by a minimum of 200mm. The
cables can be closer together for short distances, for
example, to pass through the same hole in the bulkhead.
Failure to observe this warning will cause distortion of
the transmitted audio signals.

Grounding
A good ground (RF earth) is essential for efficient
transceiver operation. A chassis ground is provided on the
rear panel of the transceiver.
Use a copper braid of at least 12mm width to ground the
transceiver.
The control head may also require earthing to prevent RF
interference corrupting its data and audio circuits. To do
this, check that the mounting bracket is earthed by ensuring
that the screws holding the mounting bracket are not
insulated. It may be necessary to remove paint from around
the mounting screws to ensure a good contact.

Channel creation and editing
These procedures are used to:
• create receive-only channels by copying and editing
existing channels
• edit unprotected channels
• create transmit channels (if option TXE is fitted to your
transceiver).
When you send a call, the channel frequency and sideband
have to be the same for both stations. The channel number is
unimportant.
You cannot change the transmit frequencies used by your
transceiver unless your transceiver is fitted with option TXE.
If you edit a transmit channel and change its frequency, it
automatically becomes a receive-only channel.
You can change channel comments to describe how each
channel is used.
If you regularly use certain channels, grouping them together
may be helpful. You do this by copying channels to new
channel numbers. For example, you could create a group of
10 channels with channel numbers 201 to 210.
Unless your transceiver has option TXE, the changes you
can make to a channel depends on whether the channel is:
• protected or unprotected
• a transmit or receive-only channel.
You can change any unprotected channel setting. The only
protected channel setting you can change is the channel
comment. If you want to change the settings of a protected
channel, make an unprotected copy of the channel and edit
this copy.

4 Using Setup mode procedures
Setup mode allows you to view and change settings that
control transceiver operation.
This chapter:
• explains how to use Setup mode (4-2)
• lists the procedures available in Setup mode (4-3)
• gives some tips on using Setup mode for advanced users
(4-7).
You should read this chapter before running any of the Setup
mode procedures. Chapters 5–8 cover in detail the Setup
mode procedures for the full range of HF SSB series
transceivers. Not all of these procedures may be available in
your transceiver.
You can only use the Setup mode procedures that:
• are standard for all HF SSB series transceivers (see List
of Setup mode procedures on page 4-3)
• correspond to transceiver options factory fitted for your
version of the transceiver in the HF SSB series range
(refer to the front of your HF SSB transceiver user guide
for the list of factory fitted transceiver options)
• correspond to transceiver options that you have
additionally enabled in your transceiver by using
passwords (see Chapter 7, Password entry to enable
transceiver options).

Using Setup mode procedures
4-2 HF SSB transceiver reference manual
Using Setup mode
You enter Setup mode by pressing the
Mode
button on the
control panel four times starting from the Channel mode
setting.
Setup mode only displays the names of Setup mode
procedures fitted or enabled for your transceiver. The names
of unavailable procedures are blanked out.
The easiest way to use Setup mode is to find the procedure
you want from the following list and turn to the description
of the procedure for further details and step by step guidance.
Procedures are listed alphabetically in Chapters 5–8.
You start each transceiver procedure by entering a setup
code.
If you make a mistake in setting a value and want to avoid
saving your changes, press the F1 button on the control
panel or
PTT
on the microphone to return to an earlier step
in the procedure. Repeated pressing of either button
progresses you back to Channel mode.
If you do not touch any button or knob for 60 seconds while
in Setup mode, the transceiver automatically reverts to
Channel mode. If this happens while you are in the middle
of a procedure, start the procedure again.
The descriptions for the procedures show examples of
channel and frequency numbers. You must enter your own
values.

Setup procedures—Part 1
HF SSB transceiver reference manual 5-7
Sounding On/Off (ALE option 0)
This ALE option switches on or off sounding.
When sounding is switched off, your transceiver no longer
sends or receives ALE sounding signals. For correct ALE
operation, you should leave sounding on all the time.
If ALE Silent Mode (ALE option 11) is switched on, the
Sounding On/Off option setting is ignored and your station
does not send or receive ALE sounding signals. To set the
sounding interval, see ALE Sounding Interval on page 5-13.
Channel Quality Decay Time (ALE option 2)
This ALE option sets the artificial decay time for the record
of channel quality that is stored in the channel quality table
in ALE controller memory.
You can switch off decay or set a decay time in the range
1–8 hours.
For example, switching the sounding off and setting a decay
time of four hours would result in the record of a perfect
channel (100% channel quality) decaying to an unusable
channel (0% channel quality) over a period of four hours.
Sounding Signal Length (ALE option 3)
This ALE option sets the length in seconds of the sounding
transmission for each channel in the scan group.
When an ALE station sends sounding signals, a separate
signal is transmitted for each channel in the scan group. The
ALE station sends these signals sequentially. The total
length of the sounding transmission is the product of the
sounding signal length and the number of channels.
For example, if the sounding signal length is set to 10
seconds and the scan group contains seven channels, the
ALE station takes 70 seconds to complete sounding
transmission.
Setup procedures—Part 1
HF SSB transceiver reference manual 5-7
Sounding On/Off (ALE option 0)
This ALE option switches on or off sounding.
When sounding is switched off, your transceiver no longer
sends or receives ALE sounding signals. For correct ALE
operation, you should leave sounding on all the time.
If ALE Silent Mode (ALE option 11) is switched on, the
Sounding On/Off option setting is ignored and your station
does not send or receive ALE sounding signals. To set the
sounding interval, see ALE Sounding Interval on page 5-13.
Channel Quality Decay Time (ALE option 2)
This ALE option sets the artificial decay time for the record
of channel quality that is stored in the channel quality table
in ALE controller memory.
You can switch off decay or set a decay time in the range
1–8 hours.
For example, switching the sounding off and setting a decay
time of four hours would result in the record of a perfect
channel (100% channel quality) decaying to an unusable
channel (0% channel quality) over a period of four hours.
Sounding Signal Length (ALE option 3)
This ALE option sets the length in seconds of the sounding
transmission for each channel in the scan group.
When an ALE station sends sounding signals, a separate
signal is transmitted for each channel in the scan group. The
ALE station sends these signals sequentially. The total
length of the sounding transmission is the product of the
sounding signal length and the number of channels.
For example, if the sounding signal length is set to 10
seconds and the scan group contains seven channels, the
ALE station takes 70 seconds to complete sounding
transmission.
Setup procedures—Part 1
5-8 HF SSB transceiver reference manual
The maximum setting of the sounding signal length is 100
seconds.
Bit Error Rate (BER) Threshold (ALE option 5)
This ALE option sets the value of the BER Threshold used
in BER testing.
You can set a value in the range 0–48.
BER testing is a method of error detection for ALE word
transmission. ALE stations send and receive ALE link
controlling information in blocks of data called ALE words.
An ALE word consists of a 3-bit preamble and a 21-bit data
field.
The result of BER error testing is used in the process of
determining whether or not the ALE link can be established
using the selected channel.
The higher the BER value of a transmitted ALE word, the
greater the error. A BER value of 0 indicates perfect
reception of an ALE word. The maximum BER value of 48
indicates that all bits of the ALE word were bad.
If a received ALE word contains more errors than the BER
Threshold, the ALE controller rejects the word. The lower
you set the BER Threshold, the greater the likelihood of
rejecting words with errors.
Golay Threshold (ALE option 6)
This ALE option sets the value of the Golay Threshold used
in Golay testing.
You can set a value in the range 0–4.
Golay testing is an additional method of error detection for
ALE word transmission. The result of Golay error testing is
used in the process of determining whether or not the ALE
link can be established using the selected channel.
Setup procedures—Part 1
5-8 HF SSB transceiver reference manual
The maximum setting of the sounding signal length is 100
seconds.
Bit Error Rate (BER) Threshold (ALE option 5)
This ALE option sets the value of the BER Threshold used
in BER testing.
You can set a value in the range 0–48.
BER testing is a method of error detection for ALE word
transmission. ALE stations send and receive ALE link
controlling information in blocks of data called ALE words.
An ALE word consists of a 3-bit preamble and a 21-bit data

greater the error. A BER value of 0 indicates perfect
reception of an ALE word. The maximum BER value of 48
indicates that all bits of the ALE word were bad.
If a received ALE word contains more errors than the BER
Threshold, the ALE controller rejects the word. The lower
you set the BER Threshold, the greater the likelihood of
rejecting words with errors.
Golay Threshold (ALE option 6)
This ALE option sets the value of the Golay Threshold used
in Golay testing.
You can set a value in the range 0–4.
Golay testing is an additional method of error detection for
ALE word transmission. The result of Golay error testing is
used in the process of determining whether or not the ALE
link can be established using the selected channel.
Setup procedures—Part 1
HF SSB transceiver reference manual 5-9
The higher the Golay value calculated for a received ALE
word, the greater the error.
If a received ALE word contains more errors than the Golay
Threshold, the ALE controller rejects the word. The lower
you set the Golay Threshold, the greater the likelihood of
rejecting words with errors.
Error Threshold (ALE option 7)
This ALE option sets the maximum number of sequentially
received bad ALE words that are allowed before the ALE
controller decides that the quality of the current channel is
too poor to establish an ALE link. A bad word is a word that
has exceeded either the BER or Golay Threshold.
You can set a value in the range 0–4.
If the test fails during the process of establishing the ALE
link, the call aborts and the transceiver returns to Scan
mode.
ALE Silent Mode (ALE option 11)
This ALE option switches on or off ALE Silent mode.
When ALE Silent mode is switched off, the station runs as a
normal ALE station.
When ALE Silent mode is switched on, the station will not:
• recognise any incoming ALE calls
• send or receive sounding signals even if Sounding
On/Off (ALE option 0) is switched on.
You can still send ALE calls in ALE Silent mode.
Setup procedures—Part 1
HF SSB transceiver reference manual 5-9
The higher the Golay value calculated for a received ALE
word, the greater the error.
If a received ALE word contains more errors than the Golay
Threshold, the ALE controller rejects the word. The lower
you set the Golay Threshold, the greater the likelihood of
rejecting words with errors.
Error Threshold (ALE option 7)
This ALE option sets the maximum number of sequentially
received bad ALE words that are allowed before the ALE
controller decides that the quality of the current channel is
too poor to establish an ALE link. A bad word is a word that
has exceeded either the BER or Golay Threshold.
You can set a value in the range 0–4.

ALE Silent Mode (ALE option 11)
This ALE option switches on or off ALE Silent mode.
When ALE Silent mode is switched off, the station runs as a

When ALE Silent mode is switched on, the station will not:
• recognise any incoming ALE calls
• send or receive sounding signals even if Sounding
On/Off (ALE option 0) is switched on.
You can still send ALE calls in ALE Silent mode.
Setup procedures—Part 1
5-10 HF SSB transceiver reference manual
Call Retry Limit (ALE option 13)
This ALE option controls the number of times the ALE
station tries to establish an ALE link using each channel in
turn from the scan group.
You can set 99 for no limit to the number of tries or a value
in the range 0–98.
On each selected channel, two attempts are made to establish
a link before trying the next preferred channel, where two
more attempts are made and so on, until all channels in the
scan table have been tried (unless a link is established).
The sequence is then repeated dependent upon the number
set in the Call Retry Limit.
If a link is not established, the display shows
LINK FAILED
accompanied by error beeps. Retry duration can be up to one
minute per channel.
Channel Quality Averaging (ALE option 14)
This ALE option sets the method used to update an existing
channel quality value stored in ALE controller memory
when the new channel quality reading is worse than the
stored value.
You can replace old values with:
• new readings
• different weighted averages of the old values and new
readings.
Averaging reduces the effect that one bad reading may have
on a perfect channel. If a new reading is better than an old
value, the old value is replaced by the new reading.

Call preamble length
Setup code 242
This procedure is used to set the length of the preamble
transmitted at the start of a selective call.
The preamble is part of the coded message structure that is
transmitted when you send a selective call. The preamble
allows the receiving station sufficient time to scan to the
selected channel and recognise the incoming call.
You can set the preamble for:
•
Selcall
(for all types of selective call except ALE calls)
•
ALE
(for all types of selective call including ALE calls).
If you do not have an ALE controller, you should use the
Selcall
preamble. If your station has an ALE controller and
you want to be able to send ALE calls, you should use the
ALE
preamble.
ALE calls need a longer preamble than other types of
selective call. The
Selcall
preamble lasts six seconds. The
ALE
preamble lasts 12 seconds. Setting the
ALE
preamble
does not stop you from sending other types of selective call
but increases the initial call response time.
To change the preamble length:

This procedure is used to calibrate the transceiver clock
against an external standard.
The clock is used for timing incoming selective calls
recorded in call memory.
You can adjust the running of the clock by changing the
number of seconds that the clock gains or loses each month.
The calibration range is -150 to +310 seconds/month in steps
of 10 (approximate values).
The first time you calibrate the clock, set the value to zero
seconds/month. Over a period of a few months, see if the
clock gains or loses time and recalibrate as necessary.

Clone a transceiver
(standard procedure)
This procedure is used to copy the settings from one
transceiver to another by a process called cloning. Cloning
transceivers allows you to set up several transceivers that all
work in exactly the same way.
You clone transceivers by connecting the microphone socket
of the transceiver, which is already set up, to the microphone
socket of a transceiver that is to become a clone.
You can obtain the cable required for this procedure from an
authorised Codan dealer (Codan part no. 08-05138-001).
Except for the PIN, selcall group information and
alphanumeric address, the cloning procedure overwrites all
settings in the transceiver that you are copying to.
To clone a transceiver:
Action Notes
1.
Use the Cloning cable
to join the microphone
sockets of the two
transceivers.
2.
Switch on both
transceivers.
