1.1 2182 kHz

The international distress and call frequency 2182 kHz
may be used for distress communication, urgency and
safety transmissions, as well as ordinary calls between
stations participating in the maritime mobile service.
The distress call must have absolute priority over all
other transmissions.

1.2 Distress

The radiotelephone distress procedure must consist
of:

- The alarm signal (whenever possible) followed by:

- the distress signal MAYDAY (three times).

- The words “this is”.

- The name of the ship in distress (three times).

- MAYDAY (once).

- The name of the ship.

- The position expressed in longitude and latitude
or by bearing to a familiar geographic point.

- The nature of the distress and the kind of assist­ance needed.

- Any other information which might facilitate the
rescue, e.g. how many men on board.

1.3 Urgency signal

The urgency signal consists of three repetitions of the
group of words PAN PAN.
The message must be addressed to a particular sta­tion or to all stations. The signal indicates that the
calling station has a very urgent message to transmit
concerning the safety of a ship or the safety of a
person.
The urgency signal must have priority over all other
communications except distress.

1.6 Operating

The operating panel is provided with a very high quality
push-button keyboard panel offering an attractive solid
feel. Furthermore, keyed operations are instantly con­firmed by means of the display read-out.
To ensure safe operation under all conditions, the
keyboard is fitted with night-time illumination.

1.7 Simplex Communication

The HF SSB Radiotelephone is normally operated in
the simplex/semi-duplex mode. This means that
communication only takes place in one direction at a
time.
To operate the system you have to press the handset
switch and deliver your message, which must be
ended with the word “over”. The switch is now re­leased, allowing the other person to reply.

1.4 Safety Signal

The safety signal consists of the word SECURITY.
The signal indicates that the station is about to transmit
a message containing an important navigational or
important meteorological warning.
The safety signal must be transmitted on 2182 kHz,
and the message which follows the call should be
transmitted on a working frequency.

1.5 Silence Periods

Stations normally watch keeping on 2182 kHz must
endeavour to watch for three minutes twice each hour
beginning at xx hour 00 and xx hour 30 UTC, the so
called silence periods.
During silence periods distress and urgency traffic are
allowed only.
However, safety signals may be transmitted during the
last 10 seconds of a silence period.

1.8 Duplex Communication

If your HF SSB Radiotelephone is fitted with the Duplex
Receiver R2120, you have the opportunity to communi­cate in full duplex mode.
This means that communication can take place in both
directions at the same time.
To operate the system you just have to press the
handset switch and then make your conversation.

3.1 General

The Compact HF SSB Programme 2000 includes all
facilities that forms a modern maritime short wave
radio station.

The equipment consists of a number of separate units,
which can be interconnected to give a sophisticated
and highly advanced maritime communication system.
The divided structure gives a very flexible system,
which can be fitted to fulfil all needs and wishes of the
customers. This gives a very cost efficient system,
because the customer only pays for the facilities he
actually needs.

3.2 Simplex Radiotelephone Standard
System

The system is built up around four units, which form the
standard system for simplex radiotelephony. These
four units are pointed out on the block diagram by a
surrounding broken line.

The standard system is delivered in three different
versions, with the following power levels: 250W, 600W
and 1200W. The power level is only depending on the
size of the transmitter and aerial coupler, which means
that the Receiver/Exciter Unit RE2100 is commen for
all versions of the system.

3.5 Remote Control

The Standard Simplex/Duplex system can be remote
controlled by the Control Unit C2140, which can be
placed up to 100 meters away from the Transmitter.
The system can handle up to five Control Units C2140,
depending on the number of other optional units.

Furthermore, it is possible to use the Control Unit
C2140 as an intercom, which means that a conver­sation can take place between two Control Units
C2140 or between a Control Unit C2140 and the
Receiver/Exciter Unit RE2100.

3.6 DSC/Telex

The standard system can be extended with the DSC
Watchreceiver RM2150 and/or the Telex/DSC RM2151.

The operation of these two units and the principle of
DSC (Digital Selective Calls) are described in the
separate operator manual: “OPERATOR MANUAL
DSC HF SSB RM2150/RM2151”.

The standard system is fully controlled from the Re­ceiver/Exciter Unit RE2100. This unit is provided with
a high quality push-button keyboard, and a display
where keyed operations are instantly confirmed.

The standard system can be extended by optional
equipment to fulfil almost any requirement. This op­tional equipments is described below.

3.3 Duplex Radiotelephone

The standard system can be extended to duplex
operation by means of the Duplex Receiver R2120.
This unit has its own antenna for reception and is fully
controlled from the Receiver/Exciter Unit RE2100.

3.4 Telegraphy

The standard system can be extended to telegraphy
operation by means of the Duplex/Telegraphy Re­ceiver R2120T, which is a special version of the Duplex
Receiver. This version includes a very narrow interme­diate filter and a BFO circuit (Beat Frequency Oscilla­tor).

Furthermore, to obtain the facility of telegraphy, the
system must also include the CW Unit H2185. This unit
includes a Side Tone Oscillator, power supply for
Duplex/Telegraphy Receiver R2120T and connectors
for the Morse Key and Headset.

10.1 General

Duplex communication means that a conversation can take
place in both directions at the same time. To obtain this facility
your HF SSB Radiotelephone System must be fitted with the
Duplex Receiver R2120, which is completely operated from
the Receiver/Exciter RE2100.

In a duplex system, the signals are received on one fre­quency and transmitted on another. The signals are received
by the Duplex Receiver R2120 and transmitted by means of
the Exciter inside the RE2100. The difference between the
RX and TX frequency must always be at least 280 kHz, which
is equal to the smallest difference found for the ITU channels.
If two selected frequencies are separated by less than the
programmed value of 280 kHz, the system will automatically
change over from duplex to simplex mode.

Every time the handset key is released in duplex mode, the
reception of signals is switched over from the Duplex Re­ceiver R2120 to the Receiver/Exciter RE2100, which gives a
situation equal to simplex mode. This procedure will be
reversed whenever the handset key is pressed again and the
system will then return to the duplex mode.

The duplex mode can be selected in two ways, either by
directly keying-in the wanted frequencies or choosing a pre­programmed duplex channel by means of the channel number.
Both methods are described below.

10.2 Select Duplex Mode by means of

Frequencies

The duplex mode can also be selected directly by keying-in
a channel number. Both ITU channels and user-defined quick
select channels can be used. The only restriction, that must
be observed, is the separation between the RX and TX
frequency, which must be at least 280 kHz. All ITU channels
are intended for duplex operation and they all meet the
restriction on the frequency separation.

11.1 General

To obtain the facility of telegraphy, your HF SSB Radiote­lephone System must be fitted with the Duplex/Telegraphy
Receiver R2120T and the CW Unit H2185. The interconnec­tion between these units and the standard equipment for
simplex radiotelephony is shown in the block diagram.

The selection of frequencies and mode is performed from the
Keyboard of the Receiver/Exciter RE2100. The mode used
for telegraphy is named CW, which stands for Continuous
Waves.

11.2 CW Unit H2185

The CW Unit H2185 is used as interface between the Morse
Key and the Radio System.

The transmitted symbols (dots and dashes) are transformed
into an audible tone by means of the Side Tone Oscillator
inside H2185. The frequency of this tone is factory adjusted
to 600 Hz, but it can easily be adjusted to another frequency
by means of a potentiometer at the rear panel of H2185. The
volume is controlled by means of the Volume Control at the
front plate of H2185, which also includes on/off switches for
external and internal loudspeakers.

The CW Unit H2185 also includes a connector for a Headset,
which contains both microphone and earpiece. The Headset
is always listening-in when the telegraphy mode is selected,
but it can also be used for both simplex and duplex radiote­lephony. The activation of the microphone and thereby the
transmitter is controlled by means of the foot switch PTT
(Press To Talk).

11.3 Select Telegraphy Mode

MODE

Select the CW mode with the

key.
Key-in the wanted RX/TX-frequency.
E.g. RX/TX = 4187 kHz.

The mode lamp CW will now light up.

11.4 Start Transmission of Telegraphy

When Telegraphy mode has been selected, activate the
Morse Key for a short moment.

When the Morse Key is released and the possible tune
procedure is ended, the transmitter will be turned off. The
Exciter will still be active and generate a carrier signal ready
for Telegraphy transmission.

17.1 General Description

The remote control unit may be in one of the following
modes, Stand-by Mode, Active Mode or Intercom
Mode.

17.2 Stand-By Mode

In stand-by mode all the handsets at the remote control
units and receiver/exciter are placed in the hooks. In
this mode all units are able to control the receiver/
exciter. Loudspeakers are on. Earpiece and micro­phone are off.

17.2.1 Operation

All receiver functions are operational, except for the RF
gain control.

17.2.2 Priority

All connected remote control units are able to control
the Receiver/Exciter RE2100.

17.3 Active Mode

In active mode, one unit has the handset removed from
the hook. All other units, which are not active, shows
HF-OCC (HF occupied) in the display.

17.3.1 Operation

All operation and all functions are the same as de­scribed for the Receiver/Exciter RE2100.

17.3.2 Priority

All connected units have different priorities. The prior­ity is defined in the software and must be programmed
after installation (see the instruction book for the
control Unit C2140.
Units with higher priority than the active one are always
able to take over the control of the Receiver/Exciter
RE2100.
To do this, you just lift the handset from the hook and
