1. RADIOTELEX COMMUNICATION 1.1 General Telex subscribers can attest to radiotelex as a reliable and efficient method for sending and receiving teleprinter connections. Telex subscribers, especially those who often use HF-band radio circuits, will also attest that the telex connection is subject to interference from a variety of sources, including atmospherics, fading and noise disturbance.
1.3 ARQ Mode (A-Mode) Description The ARQ (Automatic Re-transmission request, or Automatic Request for repetition) Mode allows private communications between any two stations using semi-duplex communication. Reception confirmation is done to assure that each character is received correctly. Since the two stations (automatically) exchange identities, this affords some degree of protection for confidential messages. Traffic Exchange Sequence In the ARQ mode two stations communicate directly with one another.
not sending. This time is taken up by propagation time from the ISS to the IRS, 70 ms for the IRS to send its service information signal, and the return trip back to the ISS. The IRS listens between blocks and sends a control signal (CS1 or CS2) to request either the next block, or retransmission of the last block in the case of error. Request for retransmission may be repeated up to 32 times, until the completed block has been received error-free. After 32 times, the ISS automatically initiates a new call.
1.4 FEC Mode (B-Mode) Description The FEC mode is for one-way, uninterrupted transmission of messages, for example, weather forecasts and emergency bulletins, to no one particular station or stations. The sending station is known as the BSS (B-Mode Sending Station), the receiving station the BRS (B-Mode Receiving Station). This mode uses a simple forward-error correcting (FEC) technique of sending each character twice at a 280 ms interval.

7. MARITEX OPERATION This chapter provides an overview to the MARITEX system. For detailed information, consult your MARITEX Traffic Manual. 7.1 What is MARITEX? MARITEX, an acronym meaning MARItime TEleX, is a worldwide, round-the-clock, fully automatic and computerized network for maritime radiotelex. The MARITEX system is operated jointly by the Telecom Administrations of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.
MARITEX Services MARITEX provides four main services to MARITEX subscribers: • Store-and-forward telex • Direct dialing • Multi address • Semi-fax Note: MARITEX provides both shore-to-ship and ship-to-shore services. This manual, however, describes only the ship-to-shore communication procedures. 7.
Registering Scan Groups The Central System emits a free-signal to indicate a MARITEX radio channel is in idle condition and available for ship-to-shore calls. The free-signal is detected and recognized by the shipboard equipment as a permission to start the transmission. Then, the shipboard operator initiates a call. You can scan search for the free-signal automatically by registering MARITEX radio channels in scan group(s).
6. Press the [ ] key to advance the cursor to Mode. Select the communication mode, AUTO, ARQ or FEC. 7. Press the [ ] key to advance the cursor to Auto Search. Turn Auto Search ON or OFF; Auto Search ON: Radio stops scanning when it finds the strongest (S/N ratio) free-signal frequency. Use it where signal propagation in poor. Auto Search OFF: Scanning starts and stops with the firstreceived free-signal frequency. Normally, use this position. 8. Press [ ] to place the cursor on the No. 1 line.
