The distress call must have absolute priority over all other transmissions. The operating panel is provided with a very high quality push-button keyboard panel offering an attractive solid feel. [. . . ] Key in a new step frequency (0. 1 to 9. 9 kHz) followed by SQ ADD SQ Read-out: ADD , or press to accept the present step frequency. SIGNAL AE CURRENT 0 . 5 1 2 3 RX kHz TX TX POWER J3E SQ kHz AGC 9-2 RE2100/C2140/R2120/T - SWEEP OPERATION The start frequency is the frequency at which the sweep programme will start every time the sweep programme is selected. If the start frequency is higher than the stop frequency, then the sweep programme runs backwards. Key in the new start frequency (begin Frequency) bF (100. 0SQ SQ SIGNAL AE CURRENT RX kHz TX TX POWER J3E SQ Read-out: 29999. 9 kHz) followed by present start frequency. ADD , or press ADD to accept the 0 . 5 1 2 3 kHz AGC When the sweep programme passes the stop frequency, the sweep programme will return to the start frequency. Key in the new stop frequency (End Frequency) EF (100. 0SQ SQ SIGNAL AE CURRENT RX kHz TX TX POWER J3E SQ Read-out: 29999. 9 kHz) followed by present stop frequency. ADD , or press ADD to accept the 0 . 5 1 2 3 kHz AGC SQ When the last ADD was pressed, the lower line in the display changed from "Pr EF" to "SC-12". 12 is now running from the start frequency, which is displayed in the upper line. Read-out: SIGNAL AE CURRENT 0 . 5 1 2 3 RX kHz TX TX POWER J3E SQ kHz AGC 9. 3 Start/Stop of the Sweep Programme When the lower line in the display shows "SC" followed by two digits, then the sweep programmes start or stop running STOP when the ENT button is pressed. If the upper line shows a frequency with the clarifier digit on, then the sweep programme is stopped manually, and it will start running from the frequency on which the sweep programme was stopped. When the sweep programme is stopped manually, the up/ down arrow keys can be used to adjust the receiver frequency. When a new sweep programme has to be started, or the sweep programme has to be started from the start freSC followed by the two digits for the quency, then press sweep programme number. RE2100/C2140/R2120/T - SWEEP OPERATION 9-3 9. 4 Delete a Frequency from the Sweep Programme It is possible to delete a frequency from a running sweep programme. In case the sweep programme stops automatically at the same frequency every time it passes, and the user does not want to listen on that frequency, the user can delete the frequency from the sweep programme. When the programme stops automatically on a frequency, MODE DEL and the frequency will be deleted from the then press sweep programme. Next time the programme passes that frequency it will jump over. SC To restore a deleted frequency, press STOP followed by ENT . In case the step frequency is lower than 1 kHz, the sweep programme jumps over a 2 kHz band with the deleted frequency as the centre frequency. number of deleted frequencies is 12. 9-4 RE2100/C2140/R2120/T - SWEEP OPERATION 10 DUPLEX OPERATION 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 Key-in the wanted RX and TX frequency, which must be separated by at least 280 kHz E. g. Press: STOP Read-out: RX 4 4 2 0 ENT SIGNAL AE CURRENT 0 . 5 1 2 3 RX kHz TX TX POWER kHz J3E SQ AGC and: STOP TX 4 1 2 8 ENT To select duplex mode press: CH Read-out: SIGNAL AE CURRENT 0 . 5 1 2 3 RX kHz TX TX POWER J3E SQ kHz AGC Now press the handset key and make your duplex conversation. RE2100/C2140/R2120/T - DUPLEX OPERATION 10-1 10. 3 Select Duplex Mode by means of Channel Number The duplex mode can also be selected directly by keying-in a channel number. The only restriction, that must be observed, is the separation between the RX and TX frequency, which must be at least 280 kHz. [. . . ] When the audible tone is heard, lift the handset and make your telephone conversation. Note that the loudspeaker of the called unit is switched on, until the handset is lifted from the hook. This means that a person at the called unit is able to receive the message, without lifting the handset from the hook. To end an intercom you just place the handsets in the hooks. . 17. 4. 2 17. 2. 1 Operation All receiver functions are operational, except for the RF gain control.
