2 Overview
This chapter describes:
• the main features of the transceiver (2-2)
• the buttons and knobs that control the transceiver (2-7)
• the display layout (2-12)
• the connectors on the rear panel of the transceiver
(2-14).
Continual research and development has produced different
versions of the HF SSB transceiver. Newer versions mean
later issues of EPROM which provide different operating
features. To check the version of your transceiver, see
Chapter 3, Using View All Settings mode—transceiver
software issue.
This issue of the handbook incorporates operating
information for software versions from:
• transceiver (main) 4.00
• head (control) panel 4.00.

Overview
2-2 HF SSB transceiver user guide
Your Codan HF SSB transceiver
The innovative HF SSB series transceiver incorporates the
most recent circuit technology and manufacturing techniques
to give unbeatable operating performance and reliability. The
transceiver is designed for fixed base and mobile installations.
The transceiver is available with either front panel control or
with an extended control head using a separate loudspeaker. It
can also operate in a multi-control system consisting of a
front control panel and up to three control heads.
The special purpose microphone provides key-pad control of
most of the transceiver operations and is an extension of the
control panel functions.
The control panel features 10 buttons (sealed membrane
switches), two knobs and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).
The display shows the operating status of the transceiver,
including channel number, frequency, channel option settings
and channel comment. There is a bar graph indication of the
transmit and receive signal strengths.
The main features of the transceiver are:
• channels
• scanning
• free-tuning receiver
• selective calling*
• paging*
• GPS*
• telephone interconnect calling*
• fax and data (additional equipment required)*
• cloning.
* These features may require transceiver options to be added
to your transceiver.

transceiver is designed for fixed base and mobile installations.
The transceiver is available with either front panel control or
with an extended control head using a separate loudspeaker. It
can also operate in a multi-control system consisting of a
front control panel and up to three control heads.
The special purpose microphone provides key-pad control of
most of the transceiver operations and is an extension of the
control panel functions.
The control panel features 10 buttons (sealed membrane
switches), two knobs and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).
The display shows the operating status of the transceiver,
including channel number, frequency, channel option settings
and channel comment. There is a bar graph indication of the
transmit and receive signal strengths.
The main features of the transceiver are:
• channels
• scanning
• free-tuning receiver
• selective calling*
• paging*
• GPS*
• telephone interconnect calling*
• fax and data (additional equipment required)*
• cloning.
* These features may require transceiver options to be added
to your transceiver.
Overview
HF SSB transceiver user guide 2-3
Channels
The total number of channels that can be stored depends on
the transceiver type and the amount of channel comments
used.
Channels cover:
• the transmit frequency range specified at the front of this
guide
• the receive frequency range 250kHz to 30MHz.
Channels can be single or two-frequency simplex. They can
be programmed at the factory or by an authorised Codan
dealer through the transceiver microphone socket using
Codan XP programming software and an IBM compatible
computer.
You can copy existing channel frequencies in the transceiver
to other channel locations. You can also create receive-only
channel frequencies.
Scanning
This feature allows you to monitor up to 10 selected channels
for incoming calls. Scanning can be programmed to stop on
receipt of a voice call or a selcall (if option selcall is fitted).
Free-tuning receiver
Your transceiver can be used as a free-tuning receiver
covering the receiver world broadcast bands over the
frequency range of 250kHz to 30MHz.

Selective call (where fitted)
Selective calling simplifies calling stations. Each transceiver
has its own address rather like a telephone number. You call a
station by specifying its address. If the station is unattended,
your call details are automatically recorded. Selective calling
saves you from having to listen to noise when waiting for a
call.
Selective calls consist of ALE calls, beacon calls, GPS calls,
page calls, selcalls, status calls and telcalls. Selcall is the
basic type of selective call for voice communication.
GPS position calls, page calls and selcalls allow you to call a
range of stations simultaneously by group calling. This is
useful for base stations wanting to contact all mobile stations
or for starting a conference discussion between several
stations.
To change the call to a group call, you end the address with
00. All stations with matching addresses, excluding the last
two digits, will receive your call. For example, a call to
123400 will be received by all stations with addresses in the
range 123401–123498.
Your transceiver can store information from 10 stations that
have called you while your station was unattended.
Paging (where fitted)
The transceiver has a paging feature that allows you to send
and receive text messages up to 64 characters long.
You can either send messages directly from the control panel
or from an attached computer terminal. Received messages
are displayed and recorded in the call memory of the
transceiver.

GPS (where fitted)
You can attach a GPS receiver to the transceiver. The
transceiver automatically transmits GPS information in
response to a request from another station. You can also send
your GPS location to another transceiver.
Telephone (where fitted)
A base station can be connected to an IPC-500 telephone
interconnect unit. This allows you to use your transceiver to
make telephone calls through the public telephone system.
Fax and data (where fitted)
By connecting ancillary equipment you can use your
transceiver for fax and data transmission and reception.
Cloning
For network users, you can copy frequencies and settings
from one transceiver to another by the simple process of
cloning. A special cable joins the two transceivers together at
their microphone sockets.
Installing your transceiver
To install your transceiver and connect the components that
make up your station, refer to the HF SSB transceiver
reference manual, Chapter 2, Installation.
