Unique features

The new JSS-2150 Class A MF/HF radio equipment
features an intuitive user interface and advanced
modular design that allows for a  exible installation
approach in con ned spaces.

6-channel DSC built-in

The MF/HF has a 6-channel Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
as standard with a built-in DSC watch-keeping receiver. You
can generate and receive digital selective calls for quick and
e cient establishment of distress, urgency, safety and routine
communication with other ships and coast stations.

In urgent situations, the JSS-2150 sends a distress alert once you
press the distress button. The integrated DSC watch-keeping
receiver monitors distress alarms through continuous scanning
of distress frequencies.

Digital audio

The MF/HF integrates an advanced digital audio ampli er with a
built-in speaker, which increases the amount of power, making your
message loud and clear.

Setting your settings

The JSS-2150 uses a 3.8-inch high visibility LCD display, which you
can adjust at your own convenience. The display has 10 dim settings
and you can set the contrast up to 11 di erent levels, integrated
screensaver and assign a commonly used menu to the user key for
direct access. These are just a few of the possibilities.

Distress alerts

The JSS-2150 includes a prominent distress button,
with features to prevent accidental activation.
When in distress, you can send a DSC message
instantly, transmitting your MMSI, position, time
of position and nature of distress, enabling an
immediate response for search and rescue e orts.

Uniÿ ed design

The new controller design allows you to carry out all operations simply by using the same uni ed keyboard
layout as found in JRC’s VHF radiotelephone. The keyboard is solid and responsive, which allows for precise
operation. The keys are also backlit, making it easy to operate in low-light settings on the bridge.

Simple operation

The compact design of the JSS-2150 incorporates an intuitive interface, providing enhanced
ergonomics and user friendliness. The logic of the push buttons and JOG dial operation and
excellent on-screen menus will greatly shorten most users’ learning period.

MF/HF radio equipment
– system ˜ exibility

Connect a remote control

Getting a second operation panel onboard is easy. Connect the controller to the
transceiver and position the controller at a secondary location on the ship. The
second MF/HF station is fully operable and you can transfer saved channel data
to optimise your operation.

Flexible interfacing

Besides connecting a printer and GPS, you can connect the MF/HF to the Remote
Maintenance System (RMS
shore, to remotely perform maintenance and management checks – signi cantly reducing
down time and service miscarriage by failure analysis.

Self-diagnosis

With JRC’s MF/HF radio equipment you can perform self-diagnosis checks on the
controller and transceiver, allowing for easy maintenance and more reliability. The
results are directly shown on the screen, you can save as a log (up to 10 possible) or
print the results (with optional printer).
