Type of station
There are two versions of the transceiver. The front control
version has the controls on the front panel of the transceiver.
The extended control version has the controls on a separate
control head.
There are two types of station:
• fixed base station
• mobile station.
Fixed base station
A fixed base station typically consists of an AC power supply
connected directly to the mains. DC output from the power
supply is connected to the transceiver, which in turn is
connected to an antenna.

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.
