Note: When Tx and Rx frequencies are different, enter Tx and Rx in that order:

Tx: Tx/Rx frequencies Rx: Rx frequency only

2.3 Transmitting

After selecting class of emission and frequency, you can transmit by pressing the PTT switch. Tx is shown on the display.

2.3.1 Transmitting procedure

Maximum transmission power is achieved only when t he antenna impedance and transmitter impedance match each other. Because the antenna im pedance changes with frequency, antenna impedance matching with the transmitter impedance is done with the antenna coupler. The antenna coupler automatically tunes the transmitter to a wide range of different antenna lengths, from 7 to 18 (FS-1570/2570) or 10 to 18 (FS-5070) meters.

To initiate t he automatic tuning, do the following:

1. Press the PTT switch on the handset or the LOG/TUNE key more than one second on the control unit. Tuning is automatically adjusted at first transmission after frequency is changed. “TUNING” appears when the LOG/TUNE key is pressed more than one second; “Tx” pops out when the PTT switch is pressed. Tuning will be completed within 2 to 5 seconds for a newly selected frequenc y, or less than 0.5 seconds for a once-tuned frequency. When the tuning process is successfully

2-3

2. SSB RADIOTE LEPHONE

completed, TUNE: OK appears. If tuning fails, TUNE: NG appears.

2. Hold the handset close to your mouth, press the PTT switch and speak clearly.

Note: W hen tuning is init iated in the two control units system, the display of the idle control

unit shows “OCCUPIED(ANOTHER CONTROLLER).” In this case, only the DISTRESS button is operative on the idle control unit. Further, if a control unit is in use when the other control is tuned, the di splay of the activated control unit shows “OCCUPIED” plus the reason why cannot use: ANOTHER CONTROLLER or NBDP to inform you that tuning is not operat ed.

2.3.2 Reducing transmitter power

To minimize possible interference to other stations, reduce the transmission po wer. This should be done when using the transcei ver in a harbor, near the shore or close to communication partner (other ship).

1. Rotate the ENTER knob to choose HIGH, MID, LOW (1) or LOW2 (shown on FS-5070) in the equipment states area and then push the ENTER knob.

2.3.3 Conditi on of the transmi t ting unit

While transmitting, you may display RF (PA output), IA (antenna current), IC (collector current) or VC (collector voltage), at the lower left-hand side of the radiotelephone screen.

1. Rotate the ENTER knob to choose RF, IA, IC or VC (whichever is displayed) in t he equipment states area, and push the ENTER knob.

Checking the transmitting power

During transmission, the IA bar deflects according to the current being fed to the antenna feeder from the antenna coupler. The unit of readout is amperes. The antenna current varies with the effective antenna impedance. The reading differs by the frequency and antenna length. The output power is proportional to the square of an antenna current.

3. DSC OVERVIEW

3.1 What is DSC?

DSC is an acronym meaning Digital Selective Calling. I t is a digital distress and general calling system in the MF and HF bands used by ships for transmitt ing distress alerts and general calls and by coast stations for transmitting the associated acknowledgements. For DSC distress and safety calling in the MF and HF bands, the frequencies are 2187.5,

4207.5, 6312.0, 8414.5, 12577. 0, and 16804.5 kHz.

The DSC station sends and receives DSC general and distress calls via the radiotelephone.

3.3 Audio Alarms

When you receive a distress alert or routine call addressed to your ship, the audio and visual alarms are released. For the distress or urgency call, t he audio alarm sounds until the CANCEL key is pressed, and sounds for one minute and then automatically goes off in case of other calls. The tone of the alarm changes with the call rece ived. By becoming accustomed to the tone, you can know which type of call you or other party have received.

Alarm Frequency (interval)

Safety call received 150 Hz (1000 ms) and 100 Hz (500 ms) Routine call received 150 Hz (1000 ms) and 100 Hz (500 ms) While DISTRESS button is pressed for four s 2000 Hz and 0 Hz (500 ms) Distress alert sent 2200 Hz, continuous (2 seconds) Own ship position not updated 2000 Hz (250 ms) and 0 Hz (500 ms) Distress alert call received 2200 Hz and 1300 Hz (250 ms) Distress relay call received 2200 Hz and 1300 Hz (250 ms) Distress relay ack call received 2200 Hz and 1300 Hz (250 ms) Distress ack call received 2200 Hz (500 ms) and 1300 Hz (500 ms) Urgency call received 2200 Hz and 0 Hz (250 ms) Urgency ack call received 2200 Hz and 0 Hz (500 ms)

For details, see below.

4.1 Sending Distress Alert

GMDSS ships carry a DSC terminal with which to transmit the distress alert in the event of a life-endangering situation. A coast station receives the distress alert and sends the distress alert acknowledge call to the ship in distress. Then, voice or telex comm unications between the ship in distress and coast station begins. Transmission of the distress alert and receiving of the distress alert acknowledgement are completely automatic – simply press the DISTRESS button to initiate the seque nce. Note that the distress can also be transmitted from the Distr ess Alert Unit IC-302.

There are four types of sending distress alert; MULTI, AUTO, SELECT and 2-16MHz. MULTI is used normally. When changing to ot her method, see step 15 on paragraph 4.1.2.
