SR

TRANSCEIVER

The NGT™ SR is a comprehensive solution to your communication

needs. While incorporating all the usual features of Codan’s leading-

edge High Frequency (HF) radio technology, this Transceiver also

features a user-friendly handset, advanced calling features and

Easitalk as standard. Extensive Automated Link Establishment (ALE)

capabilities, voice encryption, GPS, fax, data and email transmission

are optional.

INNOVATIVE HANDSET

The handset can access all programming procedures and provides an

advanced interface, effi cient operation and easier network management.

The handset supports varied requirements ranging from traditional

manual voice operation, to sophisticated ALE-reliant calling procedures.

Users can program channels, functions and addresses into the handset to

meet their own requirements. An address book with up to 100 addresses

can be easily retrieved via the menu.

EASY INSTALLATION

Every aspect of the NGT™ SR has been developed for easy installation

and use in both fi xed and mobile environments. The unit is small and

convenient to mount in any position that makes viewing easier.

EASITALK

™

The NGT™ SR uses Digital Signal Processing techniques to process received

audio signals to minimise the effect of interference and reduce noise.

EMERGENCY SELCALL

The NGT™ SR has a unique optional emergency calling facility. A distress

signal can be sent automatically to selected stations.

SMART MONITORING

A variety of channels can be monitored while the radio is muted,

and calls can be received on any of the channels being scanned.

HIGH DYNAMIC RECEIVE RANGE

The high dynamic range of the NGT™ receiver provides better reception

in diffi cult conditions.

COMPUTER CONTROL

The NGT™ SR can be controlled by a computer through an RS232 port.

This assists with paging, GPS tracking and logging, and other

automated applications.

VOICE ENCRYPTION

The optional Voice Encryptor provides communication security (COMSEC)

and enables users to communicate sensitive information in confi dence

without complicated setup procedures. It also provides visual

confi rmation that the conversation is secure.

FAX, DATA, EMAIL & INTERNET

The NGT™ SR is designed for both voice and data applications. With

Codan’s optional UUPlus™ email software, a highly effi cient email

network can be set up using the 3012 HF Data Modem.

REMOTE DIAGNOSTICS

With Remote Diagnostics your radio installation can be

tested remotely by another station to measure parameters

such as signal strength, battery voltage levels and power.

It is also possible to reconfi gure most Transceiver parameters

and disable the Transceiver.

AUTOMATIC LINK ESTABLISHMENT (ALE)

To automatically select the most suitable channel, ALE

is available as an option. CODAN™ ALE provides full

interoperability with other equipment compliant with

FED-STD-1045 ALE.

In addition, CODAN™ Transceivers outperform many

conventional ALE systems through the use of Codan

Automated Link Management (CALM™).

CALM™ provides the following additional capabilities:

Multiple networks can be scanned simultaneously at a

scan rate of 8 channels per second. This enables up to

3 times more channels to be scanned in the same time

as other ALE systems.

A profi le of channel characteristics is developed over time

using a 24 hour based Link Quality Analysis (LQA) database,

which has over 7 times more storage capacity and uses a

higher data resolution than conventional ALE systems. This

signifi cantly reduces sounding activities and enables the

Transceiver to select a suitable channel at any time of the

day from the moment it is switched on.

The Listen-Before-Transmit capability detects both voice

and ALE activities on the channel before initiating ALE.

This avoids interfering on channels that are engaged.

BITE

Built-In Test Equipment (BITE) is a process that can be

initiated by the user to test and report on of the

system’s performance.

CALLING FACILITIES

The NGT™ SR has Selcall, Phone call and Message call

capabilities. All incoming calls are time-stamped to identify

precisely when each call arrived.

Selcall: Enables an operator can call a single Transceiver and

only that unit will respond—no more listening to noise while

waiting for a call. The called Transceiver will also signal that

the call or message has been received.

Phone call: Enables the Transceiver to make telephone calls

via suitable bases equipped with a telephone interconnect.

Message call: Enables you to send or receive text messages

of up to 64 characters; an external computer is not required.

Messages can be encrypted and successful transmissions will

be confi rmed.

GPS

An optional GPS satellite receiver can be connected to

the Transceiver via an RS232 port. This enables a live display

of your current GPS position by latitude and longitude,

transmission of your position to another unit, and the

ability to request another unit’s position.

When used with tracking software, the GPS option provides

a complete tracking system to enhance safety. In addition,

a security PIN can be used to scramble GPS data so that

positions are available only to authorised users.
