3Basic07251 MF/HF Fundamental infoPropagation of MF and HF Radio Waves.MF/HF radiocommunications provide a medium and long range service. The 1.6-4 MHzmarine band is intended primarily for coastal operation beyond normal VHF communicationrange. A reliable range of more than 150 nautical miles can be expected in most areas in thedaytime, more in the nighttime. Propagation of the radio waves in this band is mainly byground waves i.e. the waves from the transmitter aerial follow the earth’s curvature to thereceiver aerial. The high frequency range 4 - 30 MHz can provide communication forhundreds or even thousands of nautical miles. The long range is achieved by sky wavesreflected from the ionosphere. Propagation of the radio waves depends on a number offactors such as frequency, time of day, time of year, and solar activity. The channelsallocated 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 commu-nication dependent on distance and time of day.RadiotelephonyThe 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 (amplitudemodulation, H3E) may be used in addition for communication with non-GMDSS ships. AMmode is used also when receiving broadcasting. The frequencies for radiotelephone distressand safety traffic in the HF bands are 4125 kHz, 6215 kHz, 8291 kHz, 12290 kHz, and 16420kHz. Working frequencies for public correspondence with coast stations are arranged in pairsfor duplex/semi-duplex operation. For the HF bands these channels are allocated numbersby ITU on an international basis. In addition a number of simplex frequencies are available ineach band for ship-to-ship communication.RadiotelexMarine telex is also referred to as (NBDP) ‘Narrow Band Direct Printing’. Due to the narrowbandwidth of the transmissions, a longer range may be expected compared to radiote-lephony. The frequencies for radiotelex distress and safety traffic are 2174.5 kHz, 4177.5kHz, 6268 kHz, 8376.5 kHz, 12520 kHz, and 16695 kHz. Working frequencies for publiccorrespondence with coast stations are arranged in pairs. For the HF bands these channelsare allocated numbers by ITU on an international basis. In addition a number of simplexfrequencies are available in each band for ship-to-ship communication.DSCDSC (Digital Selective Calling) is an automatic calling system which allows a specific stationto be contacted and made aware that a station wishes to communicate with it. In addition tocalls to specific stations the system can also be used to call groups of ships and this is ofsignificance for its use for DSC distress alerting. DSC is an alerting signal only and thecommunication which follows the call is made on an appropriate frequency band usingradiotelephony or radiotelex. The frequencies for DSC distress and safety calling are 2187.5kHz, 4207.5 kHz, 6312 kHz, 8414.5 kHz, 12577 kHz, and 16804.5 kHz. Calling frequenciesfor public correspondence with coast stations are arranged in pairs, both international andnational frequencies are assigned. In addition the frequency 2177 kHz may be used for ship-to-ship calling.

6Basic07252.9 How to make a call to a coast stationWait until transmission of the traffic list has finished and the channel is free. Call the coaststation on the working frequency on which the traffic list was received or as instructed by thecoast station.• Hook off the handset.• Press the PTT key on the handset when speaking.Say:• <Called station’s name (3 times)>• ‘This is’ <Your ship’s name (3 times)>• ‘Over’• Release the PTT key to listen.• When answered:Follow the instructions from the coast station. The coast station may ask for further identifica-tion, information on position and next port of call, and may suggest another working channelfor the traffic to follow. If the coast station is not ready to receive traffic immediately it mayask you to wait for a specific number of minutes.PTT only when you are talking. If on a simplex channel (in other words, a channelthat can carry only one transmission at a time), always say “Over” just beforereleasing.2.10 Telephony display functions

Telex mode must be selected in thefrequency display of the CU.‘Tx’ Steady light indicates that a radiotelex transmission is in progress.Steady light in ARQ communication indicates tx mode.Flashing indicates phasing/ rephasing (‘Called’ lamp flashes as well)or repetitions.‘Called’ Steady light indicates that a radiotelex call has been detected andreception is in progress.Steady light in ARQ communication indicates rx mode.Flashing indicates rephasing (‘Tx’ diode flashes as well).Keyboard Function KeysSelect CH (F1): Sets the frequencies of the transceiver in accordance with theselection of ITU coast station or ITU intership channel and the entryof ITU channel number.Call FEC (F2): Initiates a FEC transmission. Responds to the printer with a choice ofbroadcast or selective FEC. Choosing selective FEC requires entryof call code, before the transmission begins.Call ARQ (F3): Initiates an ARQ call. Responds by printing ‘ARQ call code?’,expecting the call code of the station to be called to be typed. Uponcarriage return (¬ Enter), the ARQ transmission begins.Edit Mesg (F4): Edits a message to be transmitted later.
34DetailSend Mesg (F5): Transmits (prints in Standby) the edited message.WRU (F6): During ARQ communication only: Requests the other station totransmit its answer-back code.DE (F7): Transmits own answer-back code, see the configuration printedwhen entering telex mode.Over (F8): Changes the direction of an ARQ connection.Break (F9): Terminates a connection. Responds by printing ‘Breaking connec-tion’. If pressed during transmission of an edited message this isterminated. Press once more to terminate the connection.On/Off (F10): Switches the GMDSS telex On/Off. The ‘Standby’ keyboard indicatorlamps gives out steady light when the switch on process is finished.Call codes, MMSI number and answer back code are printed.Telex will automatically be turned on, when entering telex mode onthe control unit.If F10 is pressed while in a connection, the key press will have sameeffect as Break (F9).The following distress frequencies only takes effect when not in aconnection.2174.5 kHz (Ctrl+F1): Selects the distress frequency 2174.5 kHz.4177.5 kHz (Ctrl+F2): Selects the distress frequency 4177.5 kHz.6268 kHz (Ctrl+F3): Selects the distress frequency 6268.0 kHz.8376.5 kHz (Ctrl+F4): Selects the distress frequency 8376.5 kHz.12520 kHz (Ctrl+F5): Selects the distress frequency 12520.0 kHz.16695 kHz (Ctrl+F6): Selects the distress frequency 16695.0 kHz.Bell (Ctrl+F7) Transmits Bell character.6.2.2 Switching OnSwitch on the printer (The ‘Select’ printer indicator must be on). Select telex mode in theFrequency Display of the control unit, then telex will be started after 2 seconds. The delayallows the user to toggle through the modes without printing the configuration as describedbelow.The ‘Standby’ keyboard indicator lamp shines steady light when connection to the telexmodem is established and the following text appears on the printer (example):5-digit call code: 12345MMSI number: 123456789Abbreviated ID: 123456789 abcd x6.2.3 Switching OffWhen pressing the F10 key, radiotelex will be turned off and the standby lamp will turn off. Ifthe user is in a connection or sending a message, the key press will have same effect asBreak (F9).If radiotelex is switched off by pressing the mode button on the control unit, any currentconnection will be interrupted.0725
35Detail6.2.4 Channel selectionPress 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 thecorresponding 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 F6.6.2.5 Transmitting a messageBefore calling, it must be ensured that the transmission will not interfere with transmissionsalready in progress. Switch the loudspeaker on and listen on the selected channel.Press Call FEC or Call ARQ as desired and enter the call code of the station to be called.For communication between two stations the ARQ mode should be used. FEC is used tobroadcast a message.Before any message can be sent, wait until the connection has been established, or in thecase of FEC until the opening phase sequence has been transmitted. When the system isready for message transmission a “>” is printed and the Tx keyboard indicator shines steadylight.After a successful ARQ connection has been established, answerback codes may beexchanged by pressing the WRU and DE keys. A message may now be transmitted bypressing carriage return (¬Enter) followed by the message to be transmitted, either typed indirectly from the keyboard, or recalled from the text memory by pressing the Send Messagekey. Communication with coast stations must be in accordance with the procedures specifiedby the particular coast station. Where the appropriate facilities are provided by the coaststation, traffic may be exchanged with the land telex network. Having completed the trans-mission, an exchange of answer-back codes should take place. The radio connection isterminated by pressing the Break key.6.2.6 Editing a messageA text memory is used for storing a message for later transmission. The message can betransmitted one or more times. The message is printed out when the Send Message key ispressed in standby mode.A message can be entered into the text memory after pressing the Edit Message key instandby mode. Any previous contents of the text memory are printed out then it may besupplemented, corrected or deleted. The maximum size of a message is 4000 characters.Editing keys:Edit Mesg(F4)Selects edit-mode and prints the contents of the text memory.BackspaceDeletes the last character keyed in if it has not been printed.Insertfollowed by line number, selects a line. The contents of the line, ifany, are printed.0725
36DetailText may be added or deleted.DeleteDeletes 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.6.2.7 Receiving a messageReception 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 ‘Called’ keyboard indicator lamp is turned on. In case of paper-out during reception the connection is terminated.6.2.8 Example of FEC TransmissionAssuming the GMDSS telex terminal is in Standby and the radio is set up to telex mode andto the desired frequencies following a DSCDistress 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 2007-06-20 12:30:23, Tx 2174.5 kHz.The transmission starts, the ‘Tx’ keyboard indicator starts flashing and the control unitdisplay indicates that the transmitter is delivering RF output to the aerial. When the phasingsequence (including carriage return, line feed, letter shift) has been transmitted the ‘Tx’ lampshines steady light and the printer responds by printing:>The communication to follow must be in accordance with the procedures specified fordistress 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, then Standby keyboard indicatorlamp starts blinking. After a few seconds transmission stops, the Standby keyboard indicatorlamp shines steady and the terminal is ready to receive.0725
