MF/HF Fundamental Info
Propagation of MF and HF Radio
Waves.
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.
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 ‘all ships’ and 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 ship-to-ship calling.
Radiotelephony
The mode of emission used for telephony transmissions in the marine bands is SSB (single-sideband, 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 ‘Narrow Band Direct Printing’
(NBDP). 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.

Note: The two tone alarm signal generator is intended for alerting ships not yet equipped with DSC equipment. It may be used only to announce a distress message and primarily on the frequency 2182 kHz in AM telephony mode.
Listening for Calls
Coast stations transmit traffic lists consisting of call signs/names of the ships for which they have traffic.
The traffic lists are sent at specified times and at intervals of typically two hours. They are broadcasted on the normal working frequencies on the coast station. Ships should, as far as possible, listen to the traffic lists transmitted by relevant coast stations. On hearing their call sign they should establish communication as soon as they can do so.
1.
Select the appropriate station.
2.
Select the channel on which traffic lists are transmitted.
3.
Switch loudspeaker on and adjust volume to an appropriate level.
If on HF, traffic lists are transmitted in more frequency bands simultaneously, search for the channel with the best propagation conditions.
Making a Manual Call
Wait until transmission of the traffic list has finished and the channel is free. Call the coast station on the working frequency on which the traffic list was received or as instructed by the coast station.
1.
Hook off the handset.
2.
Press the PTT key on the handset when speaking.
Say:
1. <Called station’s name (3 times)>
2. ‘This is’ <Your ship’s name (3 times)>
3. ‘Over’
3.
Release the PTT key to listen.
4.
When answered:
Follow the instructions from the coast station. The coast station may ask for further identification, information on position and next port of call, and may suggest another working channel for the traffic to follow. If the coast station is not ready to receive traffic immediately it may ask you to wait for a specific number of minutes.

Using Two Control Units
You can connect two control units to the system. However, it can only be controlled by one control unit at a time.
If for instance control unit #2 has sent an individual DSC call, control unit #2 is to receive and respond to the acknowledgement call that may follow.
If a call comes in when both control units are in the DSC Status
Menu, and therefore not active, both control units are to receive and respond to the call.
Priority of Control Unit #1
Control unit #1 has the highest priority, i.e. you can always control the system by means of control unit #1 – even if control unit #2 has initiated a distress call.
Control Unit #2 Taking Over the Control
When control unit #1 is in the DSC Status Menu, control unit #2 can take over the control of the system by leaving the DSC Status Menu.
When control unit #2 returns to the DSC Status Menu, the control is automatically given back to control unit #1.
Status Indication
Control Unit #1:
When control unit #2 controls the system, the display of control unit
#1 shows what activity is taking place. The following read-outs may appear:
•
”
OCC by unit 2 sending Distress alert” means that control unit #2 is transmitting a distress call, or awaiting automatic retransmission.
•
“ OCC by unit 2 sending DSC call” means that control unit #2 is transmitting an ordinary DSC call.
•
“ OCC by unit 2 using DSC functions” means that control unit
#2 is in a DSC menu without transmitting a call.
•
“
OCC by unit 2 using Radio functions” means that control unit #2 is not in a DSC menu.
Control Unit #2:
The display of control unit #2 always shows when the system is busy. When the system is not busy, the display shows the DSC
Status Menu.
If control unit #2 tries to take over the control, but is not allowed to do so, this is indicated by both a sound and the display read-out “ OCC by unit 1”.
Responding to Incoming DSC Calls
When a call comes in, only the active control unit – i.e. the one that controls the system at the moment – is to respond.
Power On/Off By Control Unit #2
Power On
You can turn on the whole system by means of control unit #2. If the display shows the words “ Unit switched off”, and the on/off button is pressed, what happens depends on whether or not control unit #1 is controlling the system at the moment: a) If control unit #1 is controlling the system, this will be indicated by the display of control unit #2.
b) If control unit #1 is not controlling the system, control unit #2 will start up in the DSC Status Menu.
When the whole system is off, it makes no difference which control unit turns it on.
Power Off
You cannot turn off the whole system by means of control unit #2.
When you press the on/off button, only control unit #2 is turned off.
The display will then show the words “ Unit switched off”.
Interconnecting
When you have received a DSC call, including working frequency, it is possible to transfer the system control from control unit #1 to control unit #2. To do so, in the Frequency menu, key: “ Shift” + “INT-
C/InterCom”.
When a DSC call is transferred from control unit #1 to control unit #2, the right working frequencies are maintained.
If the handset of control unit #2 is not lifted within five minutes, the control automatically returns to control unit #1.
DSC Scanning Frequencies
You cannot change the DSC scanning frequencies by means of control unit #2. The scanning frequencies used when in the DSC
Status Menu of control unit #2 are the same as if in the DSC Status
Menu of control unit #1.
If control unit #1 changes the DSC scanning frequencies, that information is passed on to control unit #2. Therefore, if control unit
#2 is given the control, and starts scanning, the same scanning frequencies are used.

GMDSS Radiotelex Terminal
Introduction
The GMDSS Radiotelex Terminal is an option used for handling transmission/reception of telex messages over radio. The terminal consists of a printer and a keyboard, connected to the transceiver control unit which provides the interface to the DSC/telex modem located in the transceiver unit. The keyboard is equipped with an affixed template for function keys and indicator lamps.
The GMDSS Radiotelex Terminal was designed in accordance with relevant IMO, ITU and ETSI recommendation/specifications and has been approved for shipboard installations to be operating within the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System.
It supports world-wide ship-to-ship, shore-to-ship and ship-to-shore communication by utilizing the radiotelex protocols described in
ITU- Rec. 625 to overcome the deficiencies of the HF medium. In case of two-way communication an ARQ (Automatic Repetition reQuest) algorithm for error correction is thus used, and when sending to more than one station an FEC (Forward Error Correction) algorithm is used.
To facilitate error detection the source text consisting of 5-bit telex characters is coded to a constant weight (3/4 ratio of mark and space bits) 7-bit code. In FEC mode the message is sent in time diversity i.e. each character is sent twice with a time interval by interleaving the original character stream with a delayed version of itself. The receiving station thus has two chances to receive the character correctly. If both are in error a ‘*’ is printed. FEC broadcast calls are used for sending collective messages to several stations simultaneously. A special class of FEC allows selective calling by means of call codes. The message is transmitted in inverted format and only receiving stations with the correct call codes will receive the message.
ARQ operation involves two stations. The information sending station (ISS) sends the information in blocks of 3 characters and listens in the interval between the blocks for an acknowledgement character to be received from the information receiving station
(IRS) indicating whether or not the latter has detected any erroneous character(s) in which case the block will be repeated by the ISS. Both the stations involved in a communication session may initiate an OVER sequence to change the direction of information flow or a BREAK sequence to terminate the connection. The station which initiates the connection becomes the
‘master’ station by transmitting the call signal of another station after going from ‘standby’ to ‘phasing’ state. The called station becomes the ‘slave’. When it recognizes its own call signal it will also leave ‘standby’ and enter ‘phasing’ state by transmitting an appropriate control character. After having verified the other station’s identity both stations will proceed to ‘traffic’ state and start exchanging messages. If the quality of the radio link deteriorates resulting in a large number of block repetitions, both stations will automatically advance to the ‘rephasing’ state, in which the ‘master’ station tries to call the ‘slave’ again, as it did in the ‘phasing’ state, without any of them terminating the connection now under re-establishment. Both 9 digit and 5/4 digit call signals are supported and the corresponding switching between the new protocol (ITU-R M. 625) and the old ITU-
R M. 476 is automatically performed.

Switching On
Press F10 and switch on the printer (The ‘Select’ printer indicator must be on). Select telex mode in the Frequency Display of the control unit. If the modem is used for DSC or is inhibited because the transceiver is used for telephony, the Standby keyboard indicator lamp is flashing to indicate that the terminal is not ready.
The ‘Standby’ keyboard indicator lamp shines steady light when connection to the telex modem is established and the following text appears on the printer (example):
5-digit call code: 12345
MMSI number: 123456789
Abbreviated ID: abcd
Channel Selection
Press F1. The printer responds by printing:
‘ITU Coast station / interShip channel (C/S)?:
After pressing ‘C’ or ‘S’ as desired the channel number is requested and must be typed in. The validity of the channel number is checked.
If the channel number does not exist this is indicated.
If the channel number exists the corresponding frequency pair is printed and the transceiver is set accordingly.
The radiotelex distress and safety frequencies may be selected by simultaneously pressing ‘Ctrl’ and the appropriate function key F1 to
F6.
Transmitting a Message
Before calling, it must be ensured that the transmission will not interfere with transmissions already in progress. Switch the loudspeaker on and listen in on the selected channel.
Press Call FEC or Call ARQ as desired and enter the call code of the station to be called. For transmission to two or more stations the
FEC mode should be used. For communication between two stations the ARQ mode should be used.
Before any message can be sent, wait until the connection has been established, or in the case of FEC until the opening phase sequence has been transmitted. When the system is ready for message transmission a “>” is printed and the Tx keyboard indicator shines steady light.
After a successful ARQ connection has been established, answerback codes may be exchanged by pressing the
WRU and DE keys. A message may now be transmitted by pressing carriage return (¬
Enter) followed by the message to be transmitted, either typed in directly from the keyboard, or recalled from the text memory by pressing the Send Message key. Communication with coast stations must be in accordance with the procedures specified by the particular coast station. Where the appropriate facilities are provided by the coast station, traffic may be exchanged with the land telex network.
Having completed the transmission, an exchange of answer-back codes should take place. The radio connection is terminated by pressing the
Break key.
Editing a Message
A text memory is used for storing a message for later transmission.
The message can be transmitted one or more times. The message is printed out when the Send Message key is pressed.
A message can be entered into the text memory after pressing the
Edit Message key in standby mode. Any previous contents of the text memory are printed out then and may be supplemented, corrected or deleted.

The contents of the line, if any, are printed.
Text may be added or deleted.
Deletes the last word of the line
Deletes message (after confirmation) if pressed after Edit (F4).
Line numbers (10, 20, etc.) are added automatically when typing the message.
21
Receiving a Message
Reception is possible whenever the terminal is on, indicated by steady light in the ‘Standby’ keyboard indicator. The radio must be set to telex mode and to the desired working channel.
When a call is detected the ‘Call’ keyboard indicator lamps turns on.
In case of paper-out during reception the connection is terminated.
The process may be repeated if ‘N’ is pressed; the modem set-up mode is left if ‘Y’ is pressed.
The answer back of the modem is generated by combining the 5-digit call code or MMSI number, the abbreviated ID and an ”x” e.g.:
12345 abcd x or
123456789 abcd x
Installation and Initial Set-up
Printer
The terminal uses an OKI Microline 280 parallel interface dot-matrix printer with roll paper stand, please refer to the operation guide delivered with the printer. The printer should be connected to the printer socket at the rear of the control unit by means of the parallel interface cable included with the printer. The printer is equipped with a special firmware which allows the paper to be scrolled up so the current line can be read in printing pauses, and scrolled back down when printing continues. The firmware version can be checked by performing a selftest: Disconnect the parallel interface cable. Press the LF button (line-feed) while switching the printer on. When light comes on in the indicator lamps, release the LF button. The printer version is now printed followed by a test print-out. The version must be: F/W 01.01 S33-67-7145.
Keyboard
The keyboard is a Cherry 1800 PC/AT compatible keyboard. The self-adhesive keyboard template delivered with the equipment must be mounted on the keyboard: Remove the protective paper. Carefully place the template around the function keys and indicator lamps so the latter are fully visible.
Modem Set-up
Modem set-up mode is selected automatically when turning the
GMDSS telex on if no call codes are valid or if the abbreviated ID is not valid. To change a valid set-up, a factory resetting of the modem must be performed.
The 5-digit call code, the MMSI number and the abbreviated ID allocated to the station may then be entered in turn. To leave a setting unchanged just press ‘¬ Enter’. Otherwise key in a new setting and press ‘¬ Enter’. The next item is then printed. After the last item follows:
Accept settings (Y/N) ?
22
Example of FEC Transmission
Assuming the GMDSS telex terminal is in Standby and the radio is set up to telex mode and to the desired frequencies following a DSC
Distress alert call, proceed as follows:
Press Call FEC. The printer responds by printing:
Broadcast FEC or Selective FEC (B/S)?
Press the ‘B’ key. The printer responds by printing:
Broadcast FEC call 1997-10-05 12:30:23, Tx 2174.5 kHz
The transmission starts, the ‘Tx’ keyboard indicator starts flashing and the control unit display indicates that the transmitter is delivering
RF output to the aerial. When the phasing sequence (including carriage return, line feed, letter shift) has been transmitted the ‘Tx’ lamp shines steady light and the printer responds by printing:
>
The communication to follow must be in accordance with the procedures specified for distress traffic and contain:
•
the distress signal ‘Mayday’;
•
the words ‘this is’;
•
the 9-digit identity and call sign or other identification of the ship,
•
the ship’s position if not included in the DSC distress alert;
•
the nature of distress;
•
any other information which may facilitate the rescue.
The connection is terminated by pressing the Break key. After a few seconds transmission stops, the Standby keyboard indicator lamp goes on and the terminal is ready to receive.
Example of ARQ Transmission to a
Coast Station
When the GMDSS telex terminal is on, indicated by the ‘Standby’ keyboard indicator lamp, and the radio is set up to the desired working channel (and, if requested by the coast station, free signal can be heard in the speaker), press the
Call ARQ key.
The printer responds by printing:
Enter ARQ call code:
Type in the call code, e.g.: 0832
If ok, press carriage return (<- Enter), (otherwise press Call ARQ again).
The printer responds by printing:
ARQ 0832 call, 1997-10-05 12:45:10,
The transmission starts, the ‘Tx’ keyboard indicator lamp starts flashing and the control unit display indicates that the transmitter is delivering RF output to the aerial. When successful connection has been established the ‘Tx’ keyboard indicator lamp shines steady light and the printer responds by printing:
>
The exchange of answer-backs is initiated by the coast station. The answer-back code of the called station is printed:
0832 AUTOTX DK followed by a go ahead indication and a traffic direction change:
GA+?
If direct connection with a land telex subscriber is wanted, type: dirtlx54321+ where 54321 is the telex number of the subscriber. The coast station responds with:
MOM
Dialling follows automatically, and simultaneously the number selected is sent to the ship:
54321
When the connection is ready, the time, answer-back, “via Lyngby
Radio” and “MSG+?” is sent:
97-10-5 12:46
54321 ZYXW VIA LYNGBY RADIO
MSG+?
23
Send own answer-back by pressing the DE key:
123456789 abcd x
The message is now transmitted by pressing carriage return (¬
Enter) followed by the message to be transmitted, either typed in directly from the keyboard, or recalled from the text memory by pressing the MESSAGE key: this message is typed in directly from the keyboard or recalled from the text memory.
Having completed the transmission, the answer-back code of the subscriber is requested by pressing the WRU key: x
54321 ZYXW and own answer-back is sent by pressing the DE key:
123456789 abcd x
To disconnect the land line type: kkkk
The coast station responds with:

Основные технические данные
1.1. Состав
радиоустановки:
— модуль управления;
— блок
приемо-передатчика, содержащий:
-
передатчик,
обеспечивающий все виды работы: цифровой
избирательный вызов (ЦИВ), телефонию,
телекс; -
сканирующий
приемник, работающий только в режиме
ЦИВ на 6 частотах бедствия, срочности,
безопасности; -
универсальный
приемник, обеспечивающий либо сканирование
до 6 частот ЦИВ для обычных вызовов,
либо телефонию, либо телексную работу;
— блок настройки
антенны, обеспечивающий автоматическую
подстройку антенны при изменении рабочей
частоты;
— блок питания,
необходимый для преобразования низкого
напряжения в высокое при питании от
аккумуляторных батарей.
1.2. Мощность
передатчика — 250 Вт; обеспечиваются три
уровня установки: максимальный, средний
и минимальный.
1.3. Реализуются
следующие способы настройки рабочих
частот для режимов телефонии и телекса:
-
прямая,
раздельная установка частот приема и
передачи; -
установка
частот через выбор стандартных номеров
каналов ITU[2] — три или
четыре цифры, последние две из которых
являются номером канала, одна или две
первые — обозначение поддиапазона,
например 401, 1201 и т.д.; -
установка
частот через выбор условных,
пользовательских номеров каналов,
присвоенных самим оператором наборам
частот приемника и передатчика и
занесенных предварительно в память
радиоустановки. При этом можно
использовать любые цифры, кроме нуля,
который зарезервирован для телефонной
частоты бедствия 2182 кГц, и стандартных
номеров; -
дистанционное
управление частотами со стороны
телексного терминала в режиме «телекс».
1.4. Перед передачей
любого вызова ЦИВ, кроме короткого
вызова бедствия, необходимо выбрать
частоту передачи из списка, помещенного
в память радиоустановки, т.е. прямая
настройка частот передачи для режима
ЦИВ не предусмотрена.
1.5. Сканирование
(последовательное переключение) рабочих
частот обеспечивается:
— в телефонии —
по одной программе и только для тех пар
частот, которым присвоены номера каналов
(телефонную частоту бедствия диапазона
промежуточных волн (ПВ) 2182 кГц можно
ввести в программу под номером 0, частоты
бедствия коротковолнового диапазона
(КВ) — только после их ввода в память
как пользовательских каналов);
— в телексном
режиме — по программе, составленной
оператором, с помощью телексного
терминала.
1.6. Имеется память
принятых вызовов ЦИВ (энергонезависимая,
т.е. информация не теряется при выключении),
позволяющая фиксировать:
— до 20 вызовов
категории «Alarm»
(бедствия и срочности);
— до 20 вызовов
обычных и безопасности.
1.7. Предусмотрен
формат тестового вызова ЦИВ береговой
радиостанции, имеющий категорию «SAFETY»
и не предполагающий последующей связи.

Рис. 16.1. ПВ/КВ радиостанция с ЦИВ
1 — Дисплей, 2 — Индикаторы состояний: Тх — передача, CALL — индикация приема вызова, ALARM индикация приема вызова бедствия,
3 — Панель управления, 4 — Установка частоты бедствия 2182 кГц, 5 — Функциональная клавиша для выбора функций, выделенных желтым цветом,
6 — Кнопка подачи вызова бедствия, 7 — Подстройка частоты, 8 — Включение/выключение, 9 — Регулировка громкости,
10 — Программные клавиши (soft keys), 11 — Переключение режимов телефония/ЦИВ, 12 — Адресная книга,
13 — Формирование ЦИВ, 14 — Вызов электронного журнала принятых ЦИВ
Основные функции
ПВ/КВ радиостанция с ЦИВ НС4500 объединяет в себе однонолосную радиотелефонную радиостанцию и контроллер ЦИВ, заменяя три блока аппаратуры семейства Sailor2000: RE2100, RM2150, RM2151. Радиостанция имеет увеличенный дисплей, более дружественный интерфейс для управления, освоение которого, однако, требует определенных навыков.
На дисплее высвечивается необходимая информация в виде подсказок и вариантов выбора. Оператор должен выбрать тот или иной вариант с помощью программных клавиш 10 справа от дисплея. Их функциональное назначение постоянно меняется и индицируется надписями в правой части дисплея, (аналогичный принцип реализован в банкоматах).
Переключение основных режимов работы радиотелефон/ЦИВ осуществляется клавишей 11 TEL/DSC.
Основные функции по управлению радиостанцией показаны на рисунке.
Назначение клавиш радиостанции НС4500
Управление в режиме радиотелефона
Переход в радиотелефонный режим осуществляется клавишей 2182 DIST FREQ или TEL/DSC. В показанном на рисунке примере на дисплее высвечивается номер канала, класс излучения (SSB Telephony — J3E), уровень выходной мощности (MED — средняя), шумоподавитель отключен, уровень входного сигнала — 3 деления, громкоговоритель подключен.
Программными клавишами возможны следующие варианты выбора:
FREQ — показ частот передачи и приема для устаповленного канала,
STATION — выбор береговой станции из памяти,
СН∧, CHv — выбор последующего, предыдущего канала выбранной береговой станции
Для установки номера канала можно также использовать клавиши панели управления.
При выборе подменю FREQ верхней программной клавишей на дисплее будут представлены частоты при- ема и передачи данного канала: Rx — частота приемника, Тх — частота передатчика.
Стрелка рядом с изображением Rx указывает на то, что значение приемной частоты может быть изменено с панели управления. Для ввода новой частоты передатчика следует программной клавишей ТХ переместить указатель вниз и ввести значение частоты с панели управления.
СН — переход к предыдущему меню в форме номера капала,
ТХ — выбор частоты передачи,
MODE — выбор класса излучения,
TUNE, CLRF, RF-G — настройка частоты приемника с шагом 100 Гц, точная подстройка частоты с шагом 10 Гц, регулировка усиления по высокой частоте.
Включение частоты бедствия 2182 кГц осуществляется клавишей 4. Переход к другим телефонным частотам бедствия делают стрелками BANDA и BANDv. На рисунке приведен пример выбора частоты 4125 кГц.
Управление в режиме ЦИВ
Переключение в режим ЦИВ осуществляется кнопкой TEL/DSC. На дисплее индицируются поддиапазоны сканируемых частот. Distress Watch — частоты ЦИВ бедствия, Calling Watch — сканируемые коммерческие ча- стоты. В данном примере сканируются частоты бедствия во всех частотных поддиапазонах 2,4,6,8,12 и 16 МГц, а также коммерческие частоты в поддиапазоне 2 МГц и две частоты в поддиапазоне 12 МГц.
В отличие от аппаратуры Sailor2000, в радиостанции НС4500 имеется один сканирующий приемник частот ЦИВ.
В нижней строке дисплея указывается частота бедствия, которая будет выбрана по умолчанию при быстром вызове бедствия (4207,5 кГц).
CHANGE — изменение сканируемых коммерческих частот,
WATCH — включение/выключение сканирования коммерческих частот,
VIEW — просмотр сканируемых частот (бедствия и коммерческих).
DIST FREQ — выбор частоты бедствия, используемой по умолчанию при быстром вызове. Рекомендуется устанавливать эту частоту равной 2187,5 МГц, если судно находится в районе А2 В районах A3, А4 рекомендуется устанавливать универсальную частоту для вызова бедствия в KB диапазоне 8414,5 МГц.
Справа на панели управления расположены кнопки, используемые при работе с ЦИВ RxLOG — вызов электронного журнала принятых вызовов.
Журнал разделен на две части — вызовов с приоритетом бедствия (DISTRESS) и всех остальных (NORMAL)
Содержание вызовов не может быть изменено оператором, вызовы также не удаляются из памяти при выключении питания, а сохраняются в электрически нерепрограммируемой памяти.
TxCALL — формирование вызовов судну, береговой станции или каких-либо других.
ADDR BOOK — адресная книга для вызова часто запрашиваемых судовых и береговых станций В адресную книгу заносятся MMSI станции и ее частоты.
Станция может быть внесена или удалена из адресной книги оператором.
TEL/DSC — переключение между режимами телефонии и ЦИВ В этом случае изменяется только индикация режимов.
Радиостанция НС4500 имеет два независимых приемников — для телефонии и ЦИВ, поэтому включение, например, телефонной частоты не означает, что прекращается сканирование частот бедствия ЦИВ.
Частоты ЦИВ бедствия сканируются постоянно при любых режимах работы и индикации радиостанции.
Вызов бедствия
