2.3 Transmitting
After selecting class of emission and frequency, you can transmit by pressing the PTT
switch on the handset. TX is shown on the screen during transmitting.
2.3.1 Transmitting procedure
Maximum transmission power is achieved only when the antenna impedance and
transmitter impedance match each other. Because the antenna impedance changes with
frequency, antenna impedance matching with the transmitter impedance is done with the
antenna coupler. The antenna coupler automatically tunes the transmitter to a wide range of
different antenna lengths. The available range is;
• Wire antenna 10 to 18 meters long (horizontal part)
• Whip antenna 8 meters long (Horizontal feeder is 2 meters or longer.)
• Whip antenna 10 meters long
To initiate the tuning, do the following:
1. Press the PTT switch on the handset. Tuning is automatically adjusted at first
transmission after frequency is changed. For manual tuning, press the 0/TUNE key on
the RT screen. If tuning fails, the message “TUNE NG” appears and the output power is
automatically set to LOW (for FS-2575) or LOW2 (for FS-5075).
2. Hold the handset close to your mouth, press the PTT switch and speak clearly.
Note: When tuning is initiated in the two control units system, the screen of the idle control
unit shows “OCCUPIED (CONTROLLER 1 (or 2)).” In this case, only the DISTRESS key is
operative on the idle control unit.

Checking the transmitting power
During transmission, the IA bar deflects according to the current being fed to the antenna
feeder from the antenna coupler. The unit of readout is amperes. The antenna current
varies with the effective antenna impedance. The reading differs by the frequency and
antenna length. The output power is proportional to the square of an antenna current.

For details, see below.
4.1 Sending Distress Alert
GMDSS ships carry a DSC terminal with which to transmit the distress alert in the event of a
life-endangering situation. A coast station receives the distress alert and sends the distress
alert acknowledge call to the ship in distress. Then, voice or telex communications between
the ship in distress and coast station begins. Transmission of the distress alert and
receiving of the distress alert acknowledgement are completely automatic – simply press
the DISTRESS key to initiate the sequence.
There are three types of sending distress alert; MULTI, SINGLE, AUTO. MULTI is used

8.5 Scan Channel Groups
You can store up to 10 scan groups, 20 channels per group. Note that scanning is only
possible in the ARQ and FEC modes.
The NBDP Terminal Unit can control radio equipment through channel scanning. In FEC
mode, the radio equipment scans a number of channels (according to your selection),
stopping when an incoming signal is found. In the ARQ mode it stops when your own ID
code is detected in an incoming signal. Also, in the ARQ mode, the transmitter is then tuned
to the corresponding transmitter frequency, the communication link is established and the
traffic is automatically exchanged. Scanning resumes once the link is disconnected.
8.5.1 Registering scan channel groups
You can register ITU and user scan channels as follows:
1. Press the function key F5 and then the 3 key to open the Scan Entry screen.

menu, set Mode to FEC. See section 10.3.
6. Press the ↓ key to select Auto Search. Select Auto Search to ON or OFF.
Auto Search ON: The radio stops scanning when it finds the strongest signal (highest
S/N ratio). To find the strongest signal, the radio scans all channels,
which can take some time. Therefore, use this setting where signal
propagation is poor.
Auto Search OFF: The radio stops scanning on the first signal it finds. We recommend
that you set Auto Search to OFF when signal propagation is good.
7. Press the ↓ key to select line no. 1 in the Scanning Set Up window.

10.9 Preparing Macrofiles for Automatic Telex
10.9.1 Automatic telex overview
This section shows you how to communicate with a coast station which handles automatic
telex transmission, using macrofiles. You will also need to register communication channels
and stations, and prepare macrofiles.
Coast stations using automatic telex are MCI Marine Services (North America), Sydney
Radio (Australia), Lyngby Radio (Denmark), and others. The procedure is mostly common
to all coast stations, however refer to the coast station’s traffic manual for details.

Sample automatic telex network
The service available in automatic telex are
• Message transfer between ship and coast station (store-and-forward)
• Connection with landline telex (direct dialing)
• Multi address
10.9.2 Preparations
To use automatic telex, you need to register three items:
• Answerback code
• Scan groups
• Station names
Registering answerback code
The coast station assigns a Telex number. This number functions as an answerback code.
An answerback code contains the following:
OOOOO SHIP X
OOOOO: Coast station-assigned five-digit telex code
SHIP: Ship name
X: For shipboard station, normally X is entered
The procedure for registering the answerback code is the same as which appears on page
8-1. If an answerback code was registered before the commissioning of the coast station, a
![](/img.php?id=1533875&img=bg7b.png)
10. NBDP TRANSMITTING, RECEIVING
10-11
new answerback code must be entered. To enter a new answerback code, contact
FURUNO or an authorized FURUNO agent or dealer.
Registering scan groups
The central system emits a free-signal to indicate a coast station 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 coast station radio
channels in scan group(s). The procedure for registering scan groups for coast station use
is the same as that which appears on page 8-7.
Registering stations
The next step is to enter station name. The procedure is the same as that shown on page
8-3.

Parts List
This equipment contains complex modules in which fault diagnosis and repair down to
component level are not practical (IMO A.694(17)/8.3.1). Only some discrete components
are used. FURUNO Electric Co., Ltd. Believes identifying these components is of no value
for shipboard maintenance; therefore, they are not listed in this manual. Major modules can
be located on the parts location photos on pages AP-24 thru AP-26.
