1.10 Transmitting

After selecting class of emission and frequency, you can transmit by pressing the PTT (pressto-talk) switch on the microphone (handset). (“T” appears when the PTT switch is pressed. Output power can be evaluated on the operation display . Do not transmit any signal other than

emergency during the silence period, 00 to 03 min, and 30 to 33 min of every hour.

Tuning the antenna

Maximum transmission power is achieved only when the antenna impedance and transmitter impedance match each other . Because the antenna impedance changes with frequency a means must be provided to match (tune) the antenna impedance with the transmitter impedance. This is done with the antenna coupler. The antenna coupler automatically tunes the transmitter to a wide range of different antenna length (6 – 15 m). To initiate the automatic tuning, do the following:

1. Press the PTT switch on the microphone (handset), or the [TUNE/7] key.

2. “TUNE” appears on the display.

3. Tuning will be completed within 2 to 15 seconds for a newly selected frequency, or less than

0.5 seconds for a once tuned frequency. (A built-in memory remembers coil and capacitor settings.)

4. When the tuning process is successfully completed “OK” appears.

Figure 1-9 Meter

Reducing transmitter power

T o conserve energy and to minimize possible interference to other stations, reduce the transmission power . This should be done when using the transceiver in a harbor , near the shore or close to communication partner (other ship). Each pressing of the [H/L /8] key selects high or low output power. “LOW” appears on the display when low output power is selected. The output power on 2182 kHz (distress and calling) is the rated maximum regardless of the position of the [H/L /8] key.

1.11 Distress Call on 2182 kHz

The frequency 2182 kHz is an International radiotelephony distress, urgency and safety frequency for ship stations, public and private coast stations, and survival craft stations. It is also used for call and reply by ship stations on a primary basis and by public coast stations on a secondary basis.

Distress or emergency call is generally initiated by a radiotelephone alarm signal on 2182 kHz. Watch keeping receivers on other parties will hear your call.

1. Press the [2182] key . 2182 kHz and the class of emission H3E is automatically selected (J3E

may be selected depending on system setting).

When the [2182] key is pressed, the following parameters are set automatically:

AGC: ON Output power: Maximum Loudspeaker: ON Squelch: OFF

1.12 Receiving

You can select a receiving frequency by one of the following methods:

- Direct frequency entry, or

- Channel number entry

Adjusting RF gain

In normal use the [RF GAIN] control should be set for maximum. If the audio on the received channel is unclear or interfered with other signals, adjust (usually reduce) the control to improve clarity.

Clarifier adjustment

If reception is unclear, try to clarify the signal as follows. For manual entry of frequency, simply turn the [FREQ/CH] control for fine tuning.

1. Press the [CLARI/3] key. (If a frequency is selected by CH No., the cursor which was located at the channel number, moves under the 10 Hz place and “CLAR” appears on the display.)

2. Turn the [FREQ/CH] control to fine tune the receiver on the wanted frequency.

3. To terminate this operation, press the [CLARI/3] key again. The cursor returns to the channel number.

S-meter

During reception, the meter works as a Sensitivity Meter indicating the relative signal strength coming into the receiver front end. While in transmission, it indicates output level at the transceiver .

0246810

Figure 1-11 S-meter

Note: S-meter will not work with AGC off.

Monitoring traffic on intended transmit frequency

When a semi-duplex (two-frequency simplex) channel is selected, it is recommended to monitor it if there is no existing traffic on the frequency you are going to use. To do this, press the [RX] key followed by the [ENT] key. The transceiver unit monitors traffic on the selected frequency for three sec. If you want to monitor continuously, press the [TX] key followed by the [ENT] key.

1-13

Receiving AM broadcasting stations

1. Press the [MODE/1] key repeatedly to select H3E.

2. To tune in a 15,260 kHz shortwave station, for instance, press as below:

[RX], [1], [5], [2], [6], [0], [0], [ENT]. Be sure to enter the last zero.

Squelch control

Squelch is used to mute the receiver audio output when the receiver input is less than a preset value or dominant noise is higher than a preset (1000 Hz) frequency. To switch the squelch function ON, press the [SQL/5] key. Make sure the label “SQ” appears on the display. To pick up a weak signal at high audio frequencies, you should remove the squelch function notwithstanding a possible increase of background noise. To do this, press the [SQL/5] key again. Make sure the label “SQ” goes off.

Noise blanker (NB)

The noise blanker clips inputs of noise resulting from an engine ignition or motor brush sparks. It can be enabled or disabled through the system settings.
