2.2 Product Description Kyodo KG510

The

transceivers represent a quant um adva nce on the previous rugged & time pr oven KG110 transceiver. They co mprise of separ at e modules all housed within one 2RU equipment cabinet. The r ec ei ver, the transmitter , and the PA Unit are each enclosed w ithin their own diecast housing, that are then d irectly mounted on the large upper heat-sink. A µProcessor controlled interface module controls the channel selection, LCD Display, t imers, interfac es, and signalling features. Models are available for all FM commercial and military frequency bands from 30 MHz to 520 MHz, with channel selectable 12. 5, 20, 25, or 30KHz channel spacing arrangements. The RF Power Output is 1 - 50 Watts on a continuous duty basis. T he CTCSS module supports all EIA tones. All tones and different encode and decode tones can be set on a per channel basis during radio programming.

The KG510

includes 5 tone Selective Calling encoder/decoder with non-predictive decoder, as well as a DTMF encoder, and voice encryption. It supports normal all channel scanning and programmed channel scanning for base use.

KG510

The

is fitted w ith a large full dot matrix LCD that is used to display the Channel Number s & Names, frequency & tone program med informatio n, and signalling information. All user interface keys and knobs are conveniently located on the front of the radio. All user entered functions are easily activated in a logical manner via the keypad.

KG510

The

is supplied with an "N" Type connector for the transmitter, and a TNC Connector for the Receiver to allow easy connectio n to the diple xer or f eeder c ables. The rear panel includes a 9 way D sub connector for f itment of an external s hared tone panel. Also included is a 25 way D sub connector t hat enables exter nal interfac e t o ot her radios or control equipment.

The LCD comprises of four (4) lines each of which is capable of displaying twenty-one (21) characters.

The first line, in normal operati ng condition, displays the st rength of the signal bei ng recei ved on the selected channel as a bar graph.

The second line displays the strengt h of t he transmitt i ng power as a bar graph. The t hird line displays the selected channel number (up to four characters) in the first five left hand character spaces, and displays the channel name (up to eight charact ers) in the next eight character spaces.

The followi ng character s may be used in the channel name:

0-9, A-Z, a- z, / + - # ! $ % ( ) = [ ] < > ? and space

This area of t he LCD is left blank when channel names are not used.

4.0 OPERATION

4.1 Installation and Progr am ming

As the KG510 can be installed to operate as either a Base Station or as a Repeater, some of the instructions in t his document may apply to one application only, some may apply in bot h cases, while others may only apply if the particular f unctio n has been enabled during pr ogr amming of the KG510.

The KG510 must be progr ammed before it will oper ate corre ctly. This is best done by the eq uipme nt supplier or a competent radio trades man. They will r eq uire t he Kyodo 51 BS pr ogr ammi ng sof tw ar e t o do this correctly.

It is important that t he KG 510 be correct ly installed at its working location. It is recomme nded that this be done by a competent radio tradesma n. As a mini mum, it is necessary to:

Connect the DC Input power lead to a suitable 13.8 Volt Reg ul ated DC Power supply t hat

•

has sufficient capacity. ( Ensure that the DC Polarity is correct) .

Connect the two antenna connectors to suitable antennas. (Ensure that the VSWR of the

•

antennas is correct) .

Insert the Kyodo KD561 Microp hone into the microp hone connector on the front panel.

•

4.2 Basic Operation

4.2.1 Switch On Switch the KG510 "ON" by pressi ng the knob (12) and then check that the LED indicator ( 13) is illuminated.

4.2.2 Adjust the Volume Setting Rotate the Volume Knob (10) clockwise (from the fully counterclockwise position) until the audio level from the speaker is suitable.

4.2.3 Adjust the Squelch Setting Rotate t he Squelch Knob clockwise (from the fully counter clockwise positio n) s lowly until t he background noise ca n no l onger be heard. It is wise to slightly rotate the knob further in t he clockwise direction (so that variations in the background noise level do not "break" the squelch setting and cause annoying squelch noises to be heard fr om the speaker).

4.2.4 Select the Channel Select the required channel by pressing the [SHIFT] key followed by the channel number keys within two seconds. E.g. [SHIFT] + [0] + [1] to select channel #1. The LCD Display should now display CH01 and (if programmed with a channel label) the channel name: "CH01 Kyodo-co".

4.2.5 Receiving You sho uld now be able to hear any radio traf fic t hat occurs on cha nnel #1 on the KG510. It may be necessary to further slightly adjust the Volume setting to suit your listening requirements.

4.2.6 Transmitting Dependi ng on the lega l requirements i n your country, and the operating r equirements w ithin your orga nisatio n, it may be necessary to announce your Call Sign, and will probably be necessary to announce the Call Sign of the party you are calling at the start of your transmission. Whe n transmitting, it is necessary to hold the microphone about 75mm (3") from your mouth and speak clearly into the grill of the m ic rophone. It is also necessary to press and hold the Press To Talk (PTT) bar on the side of the microphone depress ed w hile speaki ng into the microp hone.
