LI $SB TRANSMISSION §58 is now the most commonly-used mode on the HF Amateur hands, Compared with other voice modes, QSR requires a narrow bandwidth for communications. SSB also allows long distance communication with minimum transmit power. These reasons, combined with the fact that modem Amateur transceivers deliver reasonably good audio wally. bake SSB the mode that most prefer on HF. Refer, if necessary, to “OPERATING BASICS" beginning on page 13 for receiving details. 1 Select the operating frequency.
6 BASIC COMMUNICATING CW TRANSMISSION CW operators know that this mode is a reliable method of communicating under the worst conditions. Although it's true that newer digital modes rival CW as being equally as useful in poor conditions, these modes do not java the long history of service yet nor the simplicity that CW can have. This transceiver has a built-in electronic keyed that supports a variety of functions. Far details on using these functions, refer to “ELECTRONIC KEYED" {page 34).
6 _BASIC COMMUNICATING FM TRANSMISSION FM operation on HF frequencies solves the problem of how to have long distance voice communication with the finest audio quality. When combined with the fulminating aspect of FM signals that suppress background noise on the piquancy, FM can ba the best method for maintaining regular schedules with friends, Refer, if necessary, to “OPERATING BASICS” beginning on page 13 for receiving details. 1 Select the operating frequency. 2 Press [SWAM] to select FM mode.
SPLIT-FREQUENCY OPERATION Usually you can communicate with other stations using the same frequency for receiving and transmitting, In this case, you select only one frequency on either VFO Aorta B. However, there are cases where you must select one frequency for receiving and another frequency for transmitting. o do this requires two UFOs. This is referred to as “spit-frequency operation”. One typical case that requires this type of operation is described below.
7 SPECIALIZED COMMUNICATING FM REPEATER OPERATION Most Amateur radio voice repeaters use a separate receive and transmit frequency. The transmit frequency may be higher or lower than the receive frequency. In addition, some repeaters may require the transceiver to transmit a sub tone before the repeater can be used, Compared to simplex communication, you can usually transmit over much greater distances by using 2 repeater. Repeaters are typically located an a mountain top or other elevated location.
SELECTING SUB TONE FREQUENCY Some 10-meter FM repeaters require the transceiver to transmit a sub tone, to prevent other repeaters on the same frequency from locking each other up. The required sub tone frequency depends on the repeater you are accessing. In Europe, a 1750 Hz tone is generally used to access repeaters, Select the sub tone frequency you require via Menu No. 18. The default is 88.5 Hz. The available choices are shown in the table below. i o | 67.01 11 1974 21 31 11928 02 7.9 12 100.
7 SPECIALIZED COMMUNICATING DIGITAL OPERATION Since Outmoded Communications Processors (MCP) have become popular, many Amateurs enjoy operating using & number of digital modes. The power and variety of Amateur radio increased greatly with the development of MCP that can use your transceiver as the communications link.
ACTOR/ PACKET/ CAPTOR/ G-TOR™/ CLOVER Due to their error-handling capability and speed of transmission, these modes are more efficient than earlier forms of digital communication by machine. in the case of G-TOR™, it was developed specifically to handle the adverse conditions of communicating across the solar system with spacecraft fusing these missions. 7 SPECIALIZED COMMUNICATING 7 Use Menu No.
7 SPECIALIZED COMMUNICATING SLOW SCAN Tv/ FACSIMILE STEVE is now increasing in popularity as a result of the capability of computers. Using this technique, you can transmit and receive still monochrome or full-color images. Instead of trying 1o describe your station, just showing it is much faster. To do this, you require a scan converter (o translate your video images into audio signals that can be fed into your transceiver.
W e T RECEIVING SELECTING YOUR FREQUENCY in addition to turning the Turing contra or pressing Mic [UPYIDWN], there are several other ways to select your frequency. This section describes additional methods of frequency selection that may save you effort and time. u Dirac Frequency Entry When the desired frequency Is far removed trim the current frequency, directly entering a frequency from the numeric keypad can be the fastest method. 1 Press [ENTENTE.
8 COMMUNICATING Al Ids W Fine Tuning Usually, muting the Tuning control changes the frequency in steps of 10 Hz for S5B8, CW, and FSK modes, and 100 Hz for FM and AM modes. However, you can also change the step size o 1 Hz for 88B, CW, and FSK modes, and to 10 Hz for FM and AM modes. 1 Press [FINE] * “FINE” appears. Yoo ANT@ PER-AMP | [ 1421300 L vse’ o 2 Tum the Tuning control 10 select the exact frequency. 3 To cancel the unction, press [FINE] again. * “FINE" disappears.
TRANSMITTING VOX (VOICE-OPERATED TRANSMIT) VOX eliminates the necessity of manually switching to the transmit mode each time you want o transmit. The transceiver automatically switches o transmit when the EVOKE circuitry senses that you have begun speaking into the microphone. When using VOX, develop the habit of pausing between thoughts to let the transceiver drop back fo receive briefly.
8 COMMUNICATING AIDS SPEECH PROCESSOR The Speech Processor levels large fluctuations in your voice while you speak, When using SSB, FM, or AM mode, this leveling action effectively raises the average transmit output power, resulting in a more understandable signal. The amount of vice compression is fully adjustable. You will notice that using the Speech Processor makes it easier o be heard by distant stations.
CUSTOMIZING TRANSMIT SIGNAL CHARACTERISTICS The quality of your transmitted signal is important regardless of which on-the-air activity you pursue. However, it's easy to be casual and overlook this fact since you don't fasten to your own signal. The following sub-actions provide information that will help you tailor your transmitted signal. W Changing Transmit Bandwidth (CROSSBEAM) Use Menu No. 13 to change the transmit bandwidth between 2.4 kHz (normal) and 2.0 kHz (narrow). The default is 2.4 kHz, 2.
& COMMUNICATING AIDS CW BREAK-IN Break-in allows you to transmit CW without manually switching between transmit and receive modes. Two types of Break-in are available, Semi Break-in and Full Break-in. Semi Break-in: When the key contacts open, the transceiver automatically waits for the passage of the time period that you have defected. The transceiver then returns to the receive mode. Full Break-in: As soon as the key contacts open, the transceiver rectums to the receive mode.
BUG KEY FUNCTION The butt-in electronic keyed also car be used as a semiautomatic key. Semi-automatic keys are also known as “Bugs’, When this function is ON, dots are generated in the normal manner by the electronic keyed. Dashes, however, are manually generated by the operator by holding the keyed paddies closed for the appropriate length of time for each dash. To switch this function ON, access Menu No. 22, and select ON.
2002 A IF FILTER The IF filters are designed far selecting the exact range of intermediate frequencies that are sent 1o the next stage in the receive circuit. Interference adjacent to the desired signal can be reduced by selecting a narrow bandwidth fighter and/or shifting the center frequency of the filter.
