MF/HF radiocommunications provide a medium and long range service. The 1.6-4 MHz marine band is intended primarily for coastal operation beyond normal VHF communication range. A reliable range of more than 150 nautical miles can be expected in most areas in the daytime, more in the nighttime. Propagation of the radio waves in this band is mainly by ground waves i.e. the waves from the transmitter aerial follow the earth’s curvature to the receiver aerial. The high frequency range 4 - 30 MHz can provide communication for hundreds or even thousands of nautical miles. The long range is achieved by sky waves reflected from the ionosphere. Propagation of the radio waves depends on a number of factors such as frequency, time of day, time of year, and solar activity. The channels allocated to the maritime mobile service in the HF range are divided into a number of bands: 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 18, 22, 25 MHz to allow a suitable frequency band to be selected for communication dependent on distance and time of day. Radiotelephony The mode of emission used for telephony transmissions in the marine bands is SSB (singlesideband, J3E). On the international distress frequency 2182 kHz compatible AM (amplitude modulation, H3E) may be used in addition for communication with non-GMDSS ships. AM mode is used also when receiving broadcasting. The frequencies for radiotelephone distress and safety traffic in the HF bands are 4125 kHz, 6215 kHz, 8291 kHz, 12290 kHz, and 16420 kHz. Working frequencies for public correspondence with coast stations are arranged in pairs for duplex/semi-duplex operation. For the HF bands these channels are allocated numbers by ITU on an international basis. In addition a number of simplex frequencies are available in each band for ship-to-ship communication. Radiotelex Marine telex is also referred to as (NBDP) ‘Narrow Band Direct Printing’. Due to the narrow bandwidth of the transmissions, a longer range may be expected compared to radiotelephony. The frequencies for radiotelex distress and safety traffic are 2174.5 kHz, 4177.5 kHz, 6268 kHz, 8376.5 kHz, 12520 kHz, and 16695 kHz. Working frequencies for public correspondence with coast stations are arranged in pairs. For the HF bands these channels are allocated numbers by ITU on an international basis. In addition a number of simplex frequencies are available in each band for ship-to-ship communication. DSC DSC (Digital Selective Calling) is an automatic calling system which allows a specific station to be contacted and made aware that a station wishes to communicate with it. In addition to calls to specific stations the system can also be used to call groups of ships and this is of significance for its use for DSC distress alerting. DSC is an alerting signal only and the communication which follows the call is made on an appropriate frequency band using radiotelephony or radiotelex. The frequencies for DSC distress and safety calling are 2187.5 kHz, 4207.5 kHz, 6312 kHz, 8414.5 kHz, 12577 kHz, and 16804.5 kHz. Calling frequencies for public correspondence with coast stations are arranged in pairs, both international and national frequencies are assigned. In addition the frequency 2177 kHz may be used for shipto-ship calling. 0725 Basic Basic 2.1 Basic functions Powering MF/HF The MF/HF is turned on by a single press on the ON/OFF/Volume button. The MF/HF is turned off by pressing the ON/OFF/Volume button for 4 seconds. Always indicated by a count down window in the information display, except if the radio is powered down in distress mode. Any connected devices (Alarm Panel, Handset, Control Units) will be operational only if the MF/HF is powered. Start-up display is last used mode. Note: The equipment should always be switched on while at sea in order to maintain continuous DSC watch. 2.2 Speaker volume The volume in the loudspeaker (internal and external) is adjusted by turning the VOLUME control.
