2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 21CODAN3 HF radio transmissionThis section contains the following topics:HF radio transmission (22)Etiquette for the use of HF radio (25)
HF radio transmission22 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualHF radio transmissionThe HF band is the range of frequencies between 3 and 30 MHz. HF transceivers usually cover a frequency range of 1.6 to 30 MHz.Codan HF transceivers transmit on single sidebands. This reduces the power required to send HF signals and increases the number of channels available within the HF spectrum.HF transceivers are primarily used for long-range communication where distances of 3000 km (1800 mi) and more are possible. Obstructions such as buildings and mountains have little effect on long-range communication. HF radio can cover such large distances because of the way the transmitted radio signal propagates.HF radio waves propagate in three ways simultaneously:• ground wave• direct wave• sky waveGround waveThe ground wave travels near the ground for short distances, typically up to 100 km (60 mi) over land and 300 km (190 mi) over sea. The distance covered depends upon the operating frequency, transmission power and type of terrain.Direct waveThe direct wave travels in a direct line-of-sight from the transmitter to the receiver.Sky waveThe sky wave is the most important form of HF propagation. The radio wave is transmitted toward the sky and is reflected by the ionosphere to a distant receiver on earth.The reflective properties of the ionosphere change throughout the day, from season to season, and yearly.Figure 1: The reflective properties of the ionosphereionospheretransmitter receiveremittedHF wavereflectedHF wave
HF radio transmission2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 23Frequency, distance and time of dayThe extent to which a radio wave is reflected depends on the frequency that is used. If the frequency is too low the signal is absorbed by the ionosphere. If the frequency is too high the signal passes straight through the ionosphere. Within the HF band, low frequencies are generally considered to be in the range of 2 to 10 MHz. High frequencies are above 10 MHz.A frequency chosen for daytime transmission may not necessarily be suitable for night-time use. During the day the layers of the ionosphere are thick. The layers absorb lower frequencies and reflect higher frequencies. At night, the ionosphere becomes very thin. The low frequencies that were absorbed during the day are reflected and the high frequencies that were reflected during the day pass straight through.Summer HF communications usually operate on higher frequencies than those used in winter over the same distance.Solar activity varies over an 11 year cycle. Higher frequencies need to be used during periods of peak activity.It is important to remember that you may need to change the frequency you are using to achieve the best communication. The general rules of thumb for HF communication are:• the higher the sun, the higher the frequency• the further the distance, the higher the frequencyChannels and modesA channel is a name that is given to a frequency or a pair of frequencies, for example, ‘Channel 1’, ‘4500’ and ‘Headquarters’. The frequencies may be any frequencies within the HF range. Each channel has one or more modes associated with it. Each mode indicates a sideband that can be used with the channel, such as USB or LSB. When you make a call you need to specify the channel and the mode you want to use.Table 3 shows examples of channels and the information associated with them.Table 3: Examples of channels and modesChannel Receive frequency(kHz)Transmit frequency(kHz)ModesChannel 1 10600 10600 LSB, USB4500 4500 – AMHeadquarters 22758 23000 USB
HF radio transmission24 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualNetworks and scanningA network is two or more stations that use the same frequencies and call system to communicate.The frequencies are allocated by a government authority and enable the network to maintain HF communication throughout the day and night. The call system is the method the network uses to make and receive calls. For example, in networks that use the Codan Selcall call system to make calls, the user enters the address of the station they want to call, then selects the channel/mode on which to make the call. In networks that use the ALE/CALM call system, the transceiver selects the best channel/mode for the call.The transceiver can be set to scan the channel/modes used by your network to detect incoming calls. It is recommended that when you are not using the transceiver to communicate you switch scanning on. This ensures that you can receive calls from stations in your network.The FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM optionIf you want to use the ALE/CALM call system to automate the selection of channels you must install the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option in the transceiver. CALM stands for Codan Automated Link Management.The FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option enables the transceiver to test the signal propagation qualities of your channels using soundings, and build a profile of each channel’s suitability for use at different times of the day and night. The BER and SINAD information collected during sounding activity is stored in the transceiver using a 24-hour period LQA database. With this information, the transceiver is able to select the most suitable channel/mode for you when you make a call.You are able to make ALE ALL calls with this option.CALM is interoperable with FED-STD-1045 ALE.The MIL-STD-188-141B ALE optionThe MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option includes the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option. It also provides the capability to make ALE calls using ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, and Wildcard address syntaxes. These calls connect one station to many stations at the same time. The MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option also provides advanced link quality analysis, advanced messaging, and access to a Heard List.The MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option is interoperable with FED-STD-1045 ALE and MIL-STD-188-141B.
HF radio transmission2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 25Etiquette for the use of HF radioThere is a standard procedure for communicating over HF radio. Before you begin transmitting, switch off scanning, select a channel, then press PTT to initiate tuning of the antenna. Listen to the channel that you are going to use and ensure that there is no voice or data communication taking place. You may need to wait until the channel is clear or select another channel.When you first establish communication with another station it is customary to state their call sign and then your own using the phonetic alphabet (see Table 4 on page 26). For example:‘Alpha Bravo One, this is Alpha Bravo Two. Do you receive me? Over.’In this example your call sign is AB2 and you are calling a station with the call sign AB1. A call sign is a group of letters and numbers issued by a government authority to identify a station. The phonetic alphabet is used to ensure that your call sign is understood.The word ‘over’ is used to signify the end of your transmission. The transceiver may be set up to transmit a short beep when you release the PTT button on the handset. When your conversation with the other party is finished, the party that speaks last should say ‘out’.Swearing or foul language should not be used—heavy penalties can apply.Keep communication as short as possible.NOTEIf you have the Cfg LBT Mode set to Enabled or Override allowed, the transceiver searches for a channel that is not being used; you do not need to check any channels first.

Preparing the 2110 SSB Transceiver for use34 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualCharging a batteryBefore using your transceiver, you must ensure that the supplied battery is fully charged. You may use an AC–DC or DC–DC charger with the battery. The AC–DC charger (Type 3121) uses a universal AC mains input of 90–264 V AC. The DC–DC battery charger (Type 3122) may be powered from any 12–60 V DC source, for example, from a vehicle 12 V DC outlet, or from a 24 V vehicle battery.The Codan battery chargers are specially designed for low-noise operation, so receiver performance remains optimal while charging the battery via the front panel. You can continue to use your transceiver during battery charging.Figure 5: Typical front panel of a battery chargerTo charge a battery:1Do one of the following:• If the battery is attached to the transceiver, use cable 08-06215-001 to connect the output of the charger to the 19-way connector on the front panel of the transceiver.• If the battery is detached from the transceiver, use cable 08-06214-001 to connect the output of the charger to the 6-way connector on the top of the battery pack.1Connect the charger to an appropriate power source.CAUTIONCharging is recommended between 0 and 40°C. The battery will not commence charging if the temperature is at or above 40°C. If charging is already in progress, and the temperature rises to 50°C, charging will be stopped automatically.CAUTION To prevent damage to the battery, Codan recommends the use of the Codan battery chargers to charge the battery pack.WARNINGThe battery pack should be charged with the connector facing upward and the vents clear of obstructions so that any gas created during the charging process is released.CAUTION Provide clear notification that charging is underway. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the battery during charging.NOTE It will take approximately 16 seconds for charging to start.3121 AC Battery ChargerINPUT OUTPUTpower on(green)charging(orange, off whencharging complete)
Preparing the 2110 SSB Transceiver for use2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 35If the transceiver is operational during charging, the battery status indicator on the front panel screen will show that the battery is charging. When charging is complete, the battery status indicator will be full.Requirements for alternative chargersThe Codan battery packs may be charged using alternative supplies, for example, solar panels or hand-crank generators. In this situation, the voltage level must not exceed 15.5 V and the current must be within 1–3 A. These chargers must be connected between pin B (charge in) and pin A (ground) on the connector on the battery pack.Notes on charging batteriesA battery will require 3–5 discharge/recharge cycles when new before it will reach its full capacity. In order to increase the battery service life, it is recommended that the battery is not fully discharged during each cycle. Full discharge should only be carried out periodically as follows:For the periodic full discharge cycle, run the battery down to zero capacity using the transceiver. The transceiver will switch off automatically when the battery is fully discharged.The Codan battery packs have in-built monitoring, which is reported in the Battery entry in the Control List. You should view the Battery Cycle setting for the number of times the battery has received input current (that is, has been charged).Type Full dischargeNiMh Two full discharge/recharge cycles every 20 charge cyclesSLA One full discharge/recharge cycle every 20 charge cyclesWARNING If you are using alternative means to discharge the battery, the battery voltage must not go below 10 V.WARNING An SLA battery must be charged immediately after discharge to prevent damage to the battery.NOTE You will need to log in as administrator to see the Control List (see page 110, Logging into admin level from user level).

When receiving, this omnidirectional performance may mean more unwanted signals are picked up, which contributes to high levels of background noise or interference.Table 6: Selection guide for antennasAntenna Communication distance(km)Effort to installAntenna performanceSee...0–100 100–500 up to 2000up to 5000Tape/Knock-down whip!Minimum Adequate page 37, Whip antennas3m (10ft) collapsible whip!!Long wire and adaptor!!! page 38, Long wire antenna and adaptorEnd-fed broadband!!! page 39, End-fed broadband antennaBroadband dipole!!!! page 39, Broadband dipole antennaWire dipole !!!!Maximum Superior page 40, Wire dipole antennaNOTE For specific information on the deployment of an antenna see the Quick Reference Card provided with the antenna.
Preparing the 2110 SSB Transceiver for use38 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualThe whip antennas are suitable for multifrequency operation. The built-in antenna tuner automatically tunes the antenna on the first time a transmission occurs after selecting a new channel. This occurs when your transceiver receives a call, or when you press PTT. Alternatively, the antenna can be tuned to a frequency by pressing TUNE, then PTT. The SWR of the antenna may be viewed by pressing TUNE. The whip antennas are suitable for scanning ALE/CALM and Codan Selcall networks.The whip antennas are designed for deployment on the antenna stud on the front panel of the 2110 SSB Transceiver. The tape and knock-down whip antennas are suitable for walking and listening for communication over short distances up to 100 km (60 mi), using frequencies of 3–30 MHz. The 3 m (10 ft) collapsible whip antenna is suitable for communication over short to medium distances up to 500 km (300 mi), using frequencies of 2–30 MHz. Due to its length and rigidity, the collapsible whip antenna is not suitable for walking and listening.Long wire antenna and adaptorThe long wire antenna is suitable for multifrequency operation with the built-in antenna tuner of the 2110 SSB Transceiver. It is approximately 10 m (11 yd) in length. The long wire antenna is suitable for scanning ALE/CALM and Codan Selcall networks.The long wire antenna and adaptor is designed for deployment on the antenna stud on the front panel of the 2110 SSB Transceiver with the use of one support structure.

Preparing the 2110 SSB Transceiver for use2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 41Troubleshooting the transceiverBelow is a checklist for basic troubleshooting.Check that:• all connectors are dry and free of dirt• all connections are sound• the battery is connected to the transceiver and has some charge• the selected antenna is appropriate for the distance over which you want to communicate• the antenna is deployed correctly, oriented in a suitable direction, and connected to the transceiver• the grounding system is adequate as per instructions provided with the antenna• the antenna selection icon on the front panel screen matches the type of antenna you are usingIf required, restart your transceiver to invoke self-testing. The self-test checks the memory, hardware, LCD and keys.If a serious fault is reported, contact your Codan representative.Table 12 contains some general tips for troubleshooting your transceiver.Table 12: General troubleshootingProblem SolutionThe sound from the front panel speaker is muffledDrain any moisture from the front panel of the transceiver by turning it upside down.Communications are not clearTry another channel.Press PTT.If you are using a whip or long wire antenna, check that the antenna selection icon is ATU or ATU/50 (see Figure 9 on page 48).If you are communicating over a short distance, try laying the whip horizontally for near vertical incident skywave operation.Change to a long wire antenna.If communications are still not clear, change to a dipole or broadband antenna and check that the antenna selection icon is 50 or ATU/50 (see Figure 9 on page 48).There are no supports for a wire antenna availableLay the antenna wire on the ground. Lay the counterpoise in the opposite direction.I get a burn from the handset when I press PTTThe transceiver is not adequately earthed. Attach a counterpoise as per the instructions provided with the antenna.GPS is not working Ensure that the front panel of the transceiver, and hence the GPS antenna, is facing the sky so that it can receive signals from satellites.
Preparing the 2110 SSB Transceiver for use42 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualTesting the installationFollowing correct deployment, the station should be tested for correct operation prior to use in the HF network.Testing involves:• measuring the SWR• carrying out station-to-station on-air testingVoltage standing wave ratioThe 2110 SSB Transceiver measures the forward and reflected powers between the transceiver and its antenna load. To ensure correct installation, the power and SWR assessment should be performed with the transceiver working in its normal antenna system. Press TUNE to see the SWR, then press PTT to manually tune the antenna.If the impedance of the antenna is equal to 50 Ω, there will be no power reflected. This is the ideal situation, which gives an SWR reading of 1:1. An SWR equal to or lower than 2.5:1 is acceptable. If the SWR is greater than 3:1, the ALC circuitry in the transceiver will reduce the output power. With some combinations of frequencies and antenna design, it may not be possible to achieve the desired value on all channels.Using SWR to test the transceiverTo test the transceiver:1Select the channel with the highest operating frequency of the transceiver.1Press TUNE.1Press PTT to tune the transceiver.If the antenna length and ground parameters are within satisfactory operating range, tuning will be successful and the SWR reading will be less than 2:1.1Select the channel with the lowest operating frequency of the transceiver and repeat the test.1If a particular channel frequency does not tune, check the:• length of the antenna (for long wire antennas)• effectiveness of the grounding system• orientation of the antennaAlter these slightly in an attempt to achieve better tuning.
Preparing the 2110 SSB Transceiver for use2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 43On-air testingOn-air testing gives a better indication of antenna operation, particularly if the operator is familiar with the signal strengths normally received within a network. Certain types of test calls can be used to test the transceiver.With on-air testing, the difference in equipment between stations must be taken into account when determining the quality of the transmission.

You can disable the low-current mode by setting the Cfg Low Current Mode entry in the Control List to Disabled.Mute automatically comes on when the transceiver starts scanning. You must set the Mute Scan entry in the Control List to:• Selcall if you want the mute to open when a call addressed to your station is detected or voice is detected on a channel in a voice network• Voice if you want the mute to open when a voice signal is detected (you can alter the dwell time across Codan Selcall networks)• Scan for Voice if you want the mute to open when a voice signal is detected on any network (the transceiver scans at a uniform rate across all networks)If the scan is paused due to voice being detected, the length of time that the transceiver holds the pause is set in the Cfg Scan Voice Max Hold and Cfg Scan Voice Extend entries in the Control List.Switching mute on or offTo switch mute on or off:1Press MUTE.A message is displayed briefly to inform you that mute has been switched on or off.Setting the mute typeTo select the mute type:1Press V/S to toggle the mute type between Selcall mute and Voice mute.NOTEIn the following discussion, you will need to log in as administrator to see the entries in the Control List (see page 110, Logging into admin level from user level).NOTE For help on these entries in the Control List see page 200, Entries in the Control List and page 96, Changing a setting in the Control List.
Operating the transceiver62 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualScanning channelsIf you expect to receive calls on several channel/modes, switch scanning on. When scanning is switched on the transceiver selects each channel/mode in your network in quick succession to detect incoming calls. The channel/modes are scanned in a continuous cycle. Mute is switched on automatically.When the transceiver detects a call addressed to your station it stops scanning and notifies you according to the type of call received (see page 190, Receiving a call). When you press SCAN to end the call, scanning resumes. If you do not press this key to end the call, or any other key within 30 seconds, the transceiver automatically ends the call and resumes scanning.When the transceiver detects voice it notifies you according to the mute setting selected (see page 61, Muting the transceiver). If your transceiver is set to notify you when voice is detected you can pause scanning, select the channel/mode on which the voice was heard, then resume scanning when required.It is recommended that scanning is switched on when you are not using the transceiver to communicate.Switching scanning on or offTo switch scanning on or off:1Press SCAN.If a call is not in progress, scanning is toggled on or off.If a call is in progress, the call is ended and the transceiver begins scanning. Pausing scanningTo pause scanning:1Do one of the following:• to pause scanning on the current channel/mode, press• to pause scanning and scroll to another channel/mode, press orThe channel/modes through which you can scroll are those in the network or networks that were being scanned. They are not listed alphabetically but in the order in which they were being scanned.If you do not press a key within 30 seconds, the transceiver automatically resumes scanning.1While scanning is paused, do one or more of the following:• to speak, hold down PTT• to resume scanning immediately, pressNOTE When scanning is switched on, mute is also switched on.You cannot use the PTT button while the transceiver is scanning.
Operating the transceiver2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 63Using the microphoneThe microphone is located at the bottom of your handset, just like a telephone handset. When you talk into the microphone:• hold the handset as you would a telephone handset•hold down PTT• speak clearly at your normal volume and rate• use the word ‘over’ to indicate that you have finished speaking, then release PTT (the transceiver also transmits a short beep when you release PTT)• remember that your conversation can be monitored by anyone tuned to your transmit frequencyIf PTT is held continuously for a certain length of time, the system stops transmission, switches to receive and displays an error message on the front panel. This ensures that, even if the PTT button is being held down accidentally (because, for example, you are sitting on the handset), power consumption is minimised and the transceiver is ready to receive calls.You can set the length of time the system waits before it cuts transmission, or switch this feature off, by using the PTT Cutout Time entry in the Control List (see page 200, Entries in the Control List).

If you intend to change the algorithm regularly, set up a hot key on the 5key to go to the next algorithm value in the Cfg Easitalk entry in the Control List (see page 331, Example 4: changing a value to the next value in a list).NOTE Easitalk is not available if the Voice Encryptor feature is active.
Operating the transceiver80 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualUsing the voice encryptorThe voice encryptor is an optional feature that provides high-grade security for voice communications. This feature uses Secure Keys, Secure Modes, and PINs to provide various levels of secure communications.In order to communicate securely between two stations, both stations must use the same Secure Key. The voice encryptor may be programmed with multiple Secure Keys, any one of which may be selected. In addition to the Secure Keys, the voice encryptor provides a PIN facility, which temporarily varies the level of security on the key for a private session.For secure communications within your organisation you need to set up a Corporate key that is common to all transceivers in your organisation. If you need to have secure communications with other organisations operating the same type of equipment as yours, you can use the fixed Global key that is common to all voice encryptors shipped from the factory. The Global key provides secure communications, however the security is less than that provided by a Corporate key. The PIN facility may also be used with the Global key to improve the level of security.Using the voice encryptorUsing the voice encryptorTo use the voice encryptor:1Press SCAN to switch off scanning.1Press SEC.The transceiver will respond with two high short beeps and displays Go Secure, and the Secure Mode and Secure Key used. For example:NOTE To use the voice encryptor, you must have the hardware option fitted, and special firmware programmed into the transceiver and enabled.NOTEIn the following discussion, you will need to log in as administrator to see the entries in the Control List (see page 110, Logging into admin level from user level).

Using lists2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 103Grouping and ungrouping entriesEntries in lists are usually displayed on a single level. When you scroll through a list you scroll over each entry in it.Figure 21: Ungrouped entries in a listIf you want to simplify your lists so that you do not have to scroll over each entry, you can group the entries. When you do this, a second level is created for groups of entries that begin with the same word. The word that is common to the group is displayed on the first level and is followed by an ellipsis (...) to indicate that there are entries beneath it.Figure 22: Grouped entries in a list, level oneThis reduces the number of items over which you have to scroll. The entries themselves are displayed on the second level.Figure 23: Grouped entries in a list, levels one and twoTo display the entries on the second level you simply select the group name (for example, Screen...) on the first level.

Using lists104 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualThe entries in the Control List have been named to take advantage of grouping. Related entries begin with the same word so that, grouped or ungrouped, they appear close to each other in the list (for example, Time Local, Time Screen, Time Zone Offset).You cannot change the names of the entries in the Control List. You can, however, take advantage of grouping in other lists by creating or renaming your entries with group names.For example, if you have a number of channels that you only use at night, you could rename them using a group name such as ‘Night’, then group the entries in the Channel List (see Figure 24). This will save your having to scroll over the night-time channels when you do not need to use them, and to limit your scrolling to within the group when you do.Figure 24: Ungrouped and grouped entriesGrouping entriesTo group entries:1Open the list in which you want to group entries.

Using lists108 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualRestricting access to informationAccess to information in the transceiver can be restricted in two ways. You can lock lists, entries and settings to prevent them from being edited, and you can hide them to prevent them from being displayed.For example, if you do not want users to change the transmit frequencies of channels in the transceiver, you can lock the settings in which these frequencies are stored. If you do not want users to see these frequencies you can hide the settings.User, admin and factory levelLists, entries and settings can be locked and hidden at three levels—user, admin and factory level—and they can only be unlocked and displayed by someone logged into the same or a higher level.User level is the lowest and most general level. When you switch on the transceiver you are automatically logged into this level. Items locked and hidden at this level can be unlocked and displayed by others logged into this level or admin level. The user should be able to access all necessary information for the day-to-day operation of the transceiver at this level. By default, the user has access to the Channel and Address Lists.Admin level is for use by system administrators. Items locked and hidden at this level can only be unlocked and displayed by others logged into this level. This prevents users from being able to change and display these items. For details on the admin level see Table 14 on page 109 and page 110, Logging into admin level. By default, all lists are hidden at admin level however, this can be changed by the administrator to meet the user’s requirements. If the administrator recognises that there are some entries in the Control List to which the user requires access, they can either unlock and show the entry at user level, or set up a hot key to access the entry (see page 241, Creating a macro and assigning it to a hot key).Factory level is the highest level and is used by Codan to lock certain configuration settings in the Control List. Items locked at this level can be displayed by users and administrators but cannot be unlocked. You cannot log into factory level.Items can be locked at one level and hidden at another. For example, if you have access to admin level and do not want users to display the factory-locked configuration settings in the Control List, you could hide these settings at admin level. Table 14 summarises the access restrictions you can place on items at user and admin level. Locking and hiding information is covered in more detail on page 115, Locking and unlocking information and on page 113, Hiding and showing information.
Using lists2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 109Full and normal viewFull view is a feature that enables you to display items that have been hidden at the level into which you are logged, and to see the level at which items have been locked. For example, if you have logged in as a user then switch to full view, information that has been hidden at user level is displayed and icons at the top right of the screen indicate the level at which any items have been locked and hidden. When you switch to normal view, the hidden items and the icons are removed.

Using lists112 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualDisplaying full and normal viewFull view is a feature that enables you to display any items that have been hidden at the level into which you are logged, and to see the level at which items have been locked. When you switch to full view, icons are displayed at the top right of the screen to indicate whether an item has been locked and/or hidden, and the level at which these restrictions were set (for more information on access levels see page 108, Restricting access to information). When you switch to normal view, the icons and any items that have been hidden are removed.Figure 26 shows the front panel screen in full view. The entry in this figure has been locked at admin level to prevent it from being edited by users, and hidden at user level to prevent it from being displayed to users in normal view.Figure 26: Full viewIf you want to unlock an item that was locked at the same level as that into which you are logged, you do not need to switch to full view. For example, if you are logged into user level and want to unlock an item locked at user level you can do so in normal view.If you want to be able to see an item that has been hidden in normal view, you must first switch to full view to display the item (with its hide icon), then use the Config...

Using lists2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 113Hiding and showing informationIf you want to prevent users from displaying information, in particular lists, entries and settings, you can hide these items. For example, to prevent users from displaying the transmit frequency of a channel, you can hide the setting in which the frequency is stored. You can also hide entries in lists to reduce the number of items over which you need to scroll. By default, all lists are admin hidden. Therefore, users cannot access configuration information in the transceiver unless the administrator shows this information at user level.You can hide lists, entries and settings at one of two levels: user level and admin level (for more information see page 108, Restricting access to information). Table 15 summarises the effects of hiding information at these levels.When you log into admin level, full view is automatically enabled, so all items hidden at user or admin level will be displayed.Hiding or showing an item at user levelTo hide or show a list, entry or setting at user level:1Go to the list, entry or setting you want to hide or show.CAUTIONIf a hot key has been created to display a hidden item, anyone can display the item by using the hot key.

The Channel List118 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualAbout channelsA channel is a frequency or pair of frequencies to which a name has been given, such as ‘Channel 1’, ‘4500’ and ‘Headquarters’. You need to enter the details of at least one channel before you can make or receive a call. Channels are stored in the Channel List.Settings in the Channel ListWhen you create a channel you need to enter:• a name for the channel• the receive and transmit frequencies of the channel, if applicable• one or more modes to be used with the channelChannel namesA channel name can consist of letters, numbers or a combination of both. Before you name any channels, consider using group names to make navigation in the Channel List easier (for more information see page 103, Grouping and ungrouping entries).FrequenciesThe receive and transmit frequencies may be any frequencies within the HF range. However, the transmit frequencies can only be those allocated to you by the relevant government authority in your country.Spectral regulations may require the TxD option to be installed in the transceiver. In this case, you cannot create channels with new transmit frequencies. You can, however, create receive-only channels, and channels with the same transmit frequency as an existing channel. If the TxP option has been installed in the transceiver, you cannot create channels.ModesA mode specifies a combination of a sideband (for example, USB or LSB) and IF filter settings (that is, bandwidth and centre frequency). Each channel must have at least one mode. You may want to select several modes for each channel depending on the modes available to you.When the standard IF filter is fitted, the allowable modes are USB and LSB. If a different filter is fitted, other modes are available. For example, if you have a wide IF filter fitted, USBW and LSBW are available. If you have a narrow Morse filter fitted, USB CW and LSB CW are available.CAUTIONYou should be aware of any restrictions placed on channel names in your transceiver when it is used with InterNav software. For more information see the documentation provided with this equipment.

2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 121CODAN9 The Network ListThis section contains the following topics:About networks (122)Settings in the Network List (123)Special network names (127)Programming the Network List (128)
The Network List122 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualAbout networksA network is two or more stations that use the same frequencies and call system to communicate. This simplifies communication because each station knows the method with which they can make and scan for incoming calls, and the frequencies they can use. Information about the networks you may use is stored in the Network List.Networks are based on call systems. A call system is a method of making and receiving calls. For example, if you are in a network that uses the Codan Selcall call system, you can make calls by entering the address of the station you want to call, then selecting the channel/mode you want to use. When your call is detected by the receiving station, that station rings to alert the operator. In an ALE/CALM network, you can make calls by entering the address of the station you want to call only. The transceiver will select the best channel on which to make the call.When you create a network, the transceiver prompts you to select a call system, then prompts you for further information based on your selection. Figure 27 shows an example of the information required to create networks based on the Codan Selcall, ALE/CALM, and Voice Only call systems. This information is explained on page 123, Settings in the Network List.Figure 27: An example of information stored in the Network ListNOTE The call systems from which you can select depend on the options installed in the transceiver.Network ListNetwork B Scan Network:Call System:Call Detect Time:Privacy Mode:Privacy Password:Nominal Preamble:Channel/Mode:ScanALE/CALM<default>Group2 secondsChan 1/USBChan 2/USBChan 3/USB******Sounding Interval: 2.5 hoursChan 4/LSBNetwork A Scan Network:Call System:Call Detect Time:Privacy Mode:Privacy Password:Nominal Preamble:Channel/Mode:Scan voiceCodan Selcall<default>Registered******4 secondsChan 3/USBChan 4/LSBChan 5/USBNetwork C Scan Network:Call System:Call Detect Time:Channel/Mode:Dont ScanVoice Only<default>Chan 1/USBChan 2/LSB
The Network List2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 123Settings in the Network ListNetwork NameScan NetworkThe Scan Network setting applies to all types of networks. It enables you to specify whether or not you want the channels in the network to be scanned when scanning is switched on. You can also set the transceiver to scan for voice in voice networks even when the Mute Type is set to Selcall mute.Call SystemThe Call System setting applies to all types of networks. The call system is the method used by the network to make and receive calls, for example, Codan Selcall, ALE/CALM or Voice Only. The call systems from which you can select depend on the options installed in the transceiver.If your network uses the Codan Selcall call system, you can make calls by selecting an appropriate channel/mode then entering the address of the station you want to call. When your call is detected by the receiving station, that station rings to alert the operator. If your network uses the ALE/CALM call system the transceiver can select the best channel/mode for you. If your network uses the Voice Only call system, you can make calls by selecting an appropriate channel/mode then pressing PTT and speaking. You cannot enter the address of the station you want to call.Call Detect TimeThe Call Detect Time setting applies to all types of networks. The call detect time is the length of time the transceiver pauses on each channel, when scanning, to detect an incoming call. You can set the call detect time to <default> or to a specific value.NOTE In the following discussion, you will need to log in as administrator to see the Network List (see page 110, Logging into admin level from user level).CAUTION You should be aware of any restrictions placed on network names in your transceiver when it is used with InterNav software.NOTEThe transceiver will scan a maximum of 100 channels at a time. If the total number of channels in all the networks you are scanning exceeds 100, only 100 of the channels will be scanned.CAUTION Any station that is tuned to your frequency and has mute off can listen to your voice conversation.
The Network List124 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualSounding IntervalThe Sounding Interval setting applies to ALE/CALM networks only. The sounding interval is the frequency with which the transceiver sends sounding signals to other stations to assess the quality of the channels in the network.The recommended value is 5 hours. The longer the value, the longer the transceiver takes to update its channel quality information. If the value is set to 5 hours the transceiver will take 5 days to completely update channel quality information. Longer sounding intervals decrease the interruptions on network channels.Privacy ModeThe Privacy Mode setting applies to Codan Selcall and ALE/CALM networks only. The Privacy Mode is the method used to encrypt the data content of calls between stations. If you select Registered or Group, you will need to enter an appropriate password into the Privacy Password setting.When you are setting up ALE/CALM networks, you should ensure that you set up networks with the same Privacy Mode for communication. If there is a mismatch in Privacy Modes, the receiving station will use the most suitable privacy mode out of the networks through which the call may be received.For example, if an initiating station starts an ALE call containing data through a network that has its Privacy Mode set to Plain, and the receiving station determines that the address is valid in networks with the Privacy Mode set to Group or Plain, then it will select the network with the Privacy Mode set to Plain on which to establish the link. Any data communications within this link will use the basic 64 ASCII subset of characters.NOTEThe call detect time is the inverse of the scan rate. For example, a call detect time of 0.2 seconds is equivalent to a scan rate of 5 channels per second.NOTE Link quality information is also updated each time a call is made or received.Privacy Mode Is used for...Registered encrypting Phone calls that you make when you have registered with a network that encrypts telephone numbers (you are provided with a password that you need to enter into the Privacy Password setting)Group encrypting data in calls between two stations (you agree upon a password to enter into the Privacy Password setting)None calls made under a Codan protocol, which uses special formattingPlain (lowest mode)(MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option only)AMD messages in ALE calls (basic 64 ASCII subset A–Z, 0–9, space !

The Network List2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 125However, if the receiving station determines that the address is available in a Group network only, it will select the Group network on which to establish the link. Data communications within this link will not be successful because the initiating station does not have the password for the Privacy Mode of Group at the receiving station.If an initiating station starts an ALE call (without data), the receiving station determines in which networks the address is valid, selects a network with the lowest Privacy Mode available, then establishes the link. Data communications may proceed as per the Privacy Modes of the selected sending and receiving networks.Privacy PasswordThe Privacy Password setting applies to Codan Selcall and ALE/CALM networks where the Privacy Mode has been set to Group or Registered. The privacy password is the password that enables you to use the Privacy Mode mentioned above. It can be up to 15 characters long.Nominal PreambleThe Nominal Preamble setting applies to Codan Selcall and ALE/CALM networks only. The nominal preamble is the length of the preamble signal sent by the transceiver when you make a call. This is the signal for which other transceivers scan in order to detect your call.The nominal preamble should be set to no less than the number of channels in the network multiplied by the call detect time. If you set the Nominal Preamble to <default> the transceiver will calculate the length of preamble at the time of the call, based upon the number of channels in the network. If you are calling a station that uses identical network information, the preamble of the initiating station will match the detection requirements of the receiving station. If such stations are scanning a different number of networks, then the nominal preamble should be calculated on a per station basis.If a transceiver that you want to call scans multiple networks, the preamble can be increased to the time it takes that transceiver to scan all of its channels.
The Network List126 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference ManualChannel/ModeThe Channel/Mode setting applies to all networks. This setting contains the channels and modes used by the network. The modes from which you can select are those specified for the channel in the Channel List.Before you add channel/modes to a network, consider the following:• While there is no limit to the number of channels you can add to a network, the transceiver will only scan a maximum of 100 channels at a time. If the total number of channels in all the networks you are scanning exceeds 100, only 100 of the channels will be scanned.• If several modes can be used with one channel and you want the channel to be scanned using each mode, create several entries for the channel, one for each mode. For example, if you want to scan ‘Chan 1’ using modes USB and LSB, create the entries ‘Chan 1/USB’ and ‘Chan 1/LSB’.• An easy way to add and maintain channels in a network is to use groups of channels. Only the group name is stored in the Network List so you can add and delete channels from the group in the Channel List without having to update the Network List each time. When the network is scanned the transceiver scans whichever channels are in the group at the time. For more information see page 103, Grouping and ungrouping entries.• When you add a group of channels to a network you need to select a mode for the group. The mode should be an allowed mode for all the channels in the group as the transceiver will only scan the channels for which the mode is allowed. If the mode is not an allowed mode for one or more channels, these channels are listed in a message that is displayed when you switch scanning on. In this situation these channels will not be scanned. To ensure that they are scanned, add them to the network individually.• A network cannot be scanned unless there are channel/modes in it. However, you can still use the network to make calls. The channel/modes from which you can select are all those in the Channel List.• If you rename a channel in the Channel List and that channel is used in a network, you must delete the channel from the network and if necessary add the new channel name.• If you make frequent and significant changes to the channels and networks in the transceiver you may want to use NSP to maintain this information.
The Network List2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 127Special network namesSpecifying a default network to use with !<network name>When you make a call from the Channel List, the transceiver usually prompts you to select a network and channel for the call. To avoid the transceiver prompting you for a network or channel, the system administrator should set up a network with a leading ‘!’ in the name, for example, ‘!AidNet’. The !<network name> should contain all of the channels that are programmed into the transceiver, thus avoiding any prompting for channels.These networks enable the operator to make a call on any channel in the transceiver with minimal prompting by the transceiver.Networks called *CALM, *Selcall and *VoiceThese networks are used with Quick Start (see page 57, Quick Start).

If you do not update the reference to the network, the transceiver will prompt you to select a network each time you use the entry to make a call.Renaming a network is a standard list function.
