Choosing frequency with the ENTER knob (for RX only):

3. Use the FILE/CURSOR key to choose digit to change.

4. Rotate the ENTER knob to set digit.

5. Push the ENTER knob.

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 the antenna impedance and transmitter impedance match each other. Because the antenna impedance 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 the 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 frequency, or less than 0.5 seconds for a once-tuned frequency. When the tuning process is successfully

2-3

2. SSB RADIOTELEPHONE

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: When tuning is initiated 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 display of the activated control unit shows “OCCUPIED” plus the reason why cannot use: ANOTHER CONTROLLER or NBDP to inform you that tuning is not operated.

2.3.2 Reducing transmitter power

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).

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.

knob.

Note: Power amplifier temperature is monitored, and when its temperature rises above a

certain temperature output power is automatically reduced. For FS-5070, when the over current is detected, output power is automatically reduced.

2.3.3 Condition of the transmitting 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 the 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.
