2. Overview

Your 9313 HF SSB transceiver employs the latest conceptsin design and reliability for long range communications. Ithas been designed for 12V DC operation and mobileinstallation.

The unit consists of a transceiver and a separate control headwhich can be located up to 100 metres away from thetransceiver.

You operate the transceiver from the control head, whichcontains sealed membrane switches (or buttons) and a liquidcrystal display (LCD). The LCD shows the selected channelnumber along with the transmit and receive frequencies. Inaddition, the display shows messages about the operation ofthe transceiver.

The main facilities and features of the transceiver are:

• channels

• selective call

• scanning.

Overview


Channels Your transceiver has a capacity of 15 channels. These cover:

• transmit frequency range 2 MHz to 24 MHz

• receive frequency range 0.25 MHz to 30 MHz.

15 transmit and receive channels are pre-programmed in thefactory. These can be modified by an authorised Codandealer.

Selective call This facility allows you to transmit a call to a singletransceiver or a group of transceivers.

Your transceiver can store details of up to ten stations thathave called you while your transceiver was left unattended.

Scanning This facility scans selected channels for audio signals. Youcan program a maximum of 15 channels to be scanned insequence for audio signals. When a selective call decode isselected, a maximum of eight selective channels can bescanned.

Installation


Mounting the transceiver

In mobile installations, the transceiver must be mountedin a position that will not cause injury to occupants in theevent of a motor vehicle accident.

Mount the transceiver and control head in a positionthat allows:

•••• easy access to the control panel

•••• a free flow of air through the rear cooling fins.

There are two types of mounting cradles that can be usedwhen installing your transceiver:

• code 117 mounting cradlefront entry (normallysupplied with the 9313)

• code 118 mounting cradletop/bottom entry.

Both types of cradle (supplied with 6 metres of DC powercable) can be used to mount the transceiver. You mustdetermine the mounting position to best suit your needs.

Installation


Code 117 mounting cradlefront entry

Step Action

1. The cradle can support the transceiver from above or belowpermitting roof or floor mounting.

Secure the mounting cradle into position with the rotatingcam catches to the front. Ensure there is sufficient space atthe rear of the cradle to take the transceiver heat sink andconnectors.

2. Align both cam catch slots with the T-section slides.

Cam catch(Slot in linewith T slide)

Front section

3. Insert the transceiver side rails into the T-section slides andpush the transceiver fully into the cradle.

4. Apply gentle pressure to the front panel of the transceiverand lock into the cradle by turning the cam catches onequarter of a turn in either direction with a suitable tool orsmall coin.

Installation


Code 118 mounting cradletop/bottom entry

Step Action

1. Secure the mounting cradle into position with its spring clipsnearest the front. Ensure there is sufficient space at the rearof the cradle to take the transceiver heat sink and connectors.

2. Remove the front and rear fixing screws of the transceiverside rails (the centre screw to be left untouched).

Note: Adaptor plates have to be fitted to the transceiver side rails to secure the transceiver to the cradle.

3. Secure the adaptor plates flush to the transceiver side railswith the new screws provided, and fit one O ring over eachprojecting stud. The adaptor plates projecting studs fit intothe slides in the cradle.

4. Insert the transceiver adaptor plate studs into the cradleslides and push fully into the cradle.

5. Secure the transceiver into the cradle with the spring clips.

Installation


Mounting the extended control head

The control head must be connected to the transceiverbefore power is applied. Failure to do this may result indamage to the transceiver in the following ways:

•••• the internal fuse blows and must be replaced

•••• the control head fails to operate. The power must bedisconnected from the transceiver and thenreconnected and switched on.

Step Action

1. Remove the two cradle screws and washers securing themounting cradle to the control head.

2. Secure the mounting cradle into position. Ensure there issufficient space at the rear of the cradle for the control cable.

3. Secure the control head to the mounting cradle with the twoscrews and washers.

4. Mount the transceiver (refer to Mounting the transceiver onpage 3-2).

Installation


Step Action

5. Connect the interface cable between the control head andtransceiver. Ensure the cable connectors are securelyfastened to the control head and the transceiver.

Notes: If necessary, remove the cover from one connector to pass the cable through restricted openings.

If the cable is too long, gather the excess neatly at one point.

6. Connect the extension speaker cable to either the controlhead or the transceiver.

Installation


Power supply

Ensure that the power supply to operate your transceiver is12V DC.

All installations should be checked by a qualified technicianbefore power is applied to the transceiver.

The heavy duty six metre length of power cablesuppliedwith the vehicle mounting cradle for mobile installationshas been selected to minimise the voltage drop between thebattery and transceiver when in transmit mode. Installationusing a smaller core cable size is not recommended.

All cables should be protected from sharp edges andmechanical abrasions.

For installation it is recommended that a suitable cartridgefuse (32 Amp-accessory code 711) is fitted in the activewire, close to the battery, to protect the power cable from thepossible risk of fire through damaged insulation coming incontact with the vehicle chassis. Normal glass in-lineautomotive fuses are not recommended. The transceiver isfitted with adequate internal protection.

Connect the power cable between the transceiver and thebattery.

Note: In extended control installations where thepower and control cables are long and follow acommon path, keep the cables separated by atleast 200 mm. The cables can be broughttogether for short distances, for example, topass through the same hole in a bulkhead.Failure to observe this warning will causedistortion of the transmitted audio signals.

Installation


Grounding

An adequate ground, or earth, is essential for satisfactoryoperation of the transceiver.

A chassis ground or earthing position is provided on the rearpanel of the transceiver.

The control head should also be earthed.

Antennas

Correct installation of the antennas is of prime importance tothe operation of your transceiver.

To obtain the best performance and radiation efficiency fromyour transceiver installation, it is important to consider thephysical location distance from the transceiver and earthingof the antenna.

Detailed and specific installation instructions are providedwith each antenna.


4. Using the transceiver

This section covers the basic steps necessary to operate yourtransceiver.

It outlines how you use the control buttons to make variousadjustments and settings, and includes transmitting andreceiving calls.

Transmitting

It is important when transmitting to use the microphone to its best advantage. Byfollowing the notes under Using the microphone you will obtain the best transmissionresults. This section covers two topics:

• using the microphone

• transmitting a message.

Using the microphone

To connect the microphone to the transceiver, push the microphone plug gently intothe microphone socket and fasten the locking ring finger-tight. Do not over tighten.

Please observe the following notes when using the microphone.

• Hold the microphone front-on and close to your mouth.

• Press and hold down the PTT (Press To Talk) button.

• When starting a transmission, always state the call sign of the person you areaddressing and then your own call sign.

• Speak clearly at normal volume and rate.

• Use the word over to indicate you have finished speaking and release the PTTbutton.

• The transceiver has a time out facility that stops the transmission after a pre-setperiod. This facility prevents problems occurring if you have jammed the PTTbutton down. The time out period can be adjusted to suit your requirementsrefer to Section 8, Changing the setup options.



Transmitting a message


1. Select a channelfor transmission.

The display shows thechannel number and thetransmit (Tx) and receive(Rx) frequencies.

Refer to page 4-10,Selecting channels.

2. Check the displayto see if thechannel transmitfrequency hasbeen enabled.

If the display showsinhib then the channelfrequency is receive only.

If the channel has beenenabled, continue withstep 3.

If not and the displayshows inhib then youwill have to selectanother channel on whichto transmit.

3. Tune the antenna. Refer to page 4-14,Tuning the antenna.

4. Listen and checkthat the channel isfree from traffic.




5. Press the PTTbutton on themicrophone andcommencetalking.

Transmit yourmessagefollowing thenotes outlined inUsing themicrophone onpage 4-16.

The Tx indicator flashesduring transmission.


5. Using selective call

Selective call allows you to call an individual transceiver or agroup of transceivers. This can be likened to a normal telephonesystem where the called station has a unique calling address ornumber. However, the operator can also call a group of stationsif desired.

Each transceiver has its own identification number. Theidentification number is a four digit code that you program intothe transceiver using the control head buttons.

The selective call feature operates by the transmission andreception of coded signals. These signals contain theidentification number of the transceiver being called (the calledaddress) and the number of the transceiver making the call (theself-identification).

All displays in this section show examples of channel andfrequency numbers. You must insert your selected channel andfrequency numbers.

Using selective call


Selective call terms

The following terms are used in this section.

This term Means

Decoding Receiving and translating the encoded message.

Encode The translation of the identification number and instructionsinto a coded message for transmission.

Group call A call to all transceivers within a selected group. Forexample, a call using the identification address 0200 (groupcall) will be received by all transceivers whose identificationaddress falls in the two hundred digit range (0201 to 0299).

Preamble Part of the coded selective call message structure which istransmitted when you press the Call button. The messagecontains the preamble tone which precedes the calledaddress and the self-identification address codes.

Program Setting the identification addresses into the transceiver.

Revertive Signal A signal automatically transmitted back from the receivingtransceiver to indicate message received and decodedsatisfactorily.

This signal does not apply to group calls.

Selective beaconcall

A call used to check signal conditions to a selected station.



This term Means

Self-identification The four digit identification number of the callingtransceiver.

Station A term used for the location of a transceiver, either mobileor fixed based.



Setting up selective callThere are several features that need to be set up before selectivecall is used:

• the preamble time period

• the called address

• the self-identification address

• the 99 beacon.

You may cancel the procedure at any time by turning thetransceiver off. Turning the transceiver off stores any changesyou made to the features.

Once you have commenced this procedure, if no action isrequired you can skip through all the features by repeatedlypressing the Call button.

Notes: A long preamble is required when scanning selective calls.

The reason for a long preamble is that duringscanning, the preamble has to be present throughoutthe time it takes to scan all eight selective callchannels.

Do not use identification addresses ending in 00 and99 as they are used for the group call and beaconfacilities.

You must always enter information within 60 secondsof pressing the Enter button, otherwise the transceiverreverts back to the normal mode.

This returns thetransceiver to normaloperation.



Using the beacon feature

The beacon facility is used to check signal conditionsbetween two transceivers fitted with selective call.The beacon facility has two modes of operation:• selective beacon mode• base station (99) beacon mode.

Selective beacon mode

With the beacon facility enabled on a transceiver, it willtransmit a beacon signal on receipt of a selective beacon callfrom another transceiver. Refer to the Selective beacon modeprocedure on page 5-22.Both transceivers must be on the same channel, or thereceiver of the selective beacon call must be scanningthrough the same channel.

(99) beacon mode

The 99 beacon mode is recommended for use in base stationapplications and for those transceivers that may haveoperating selective call but do not have the beacon modefacility.With a base station enabled for beacon mode, it will transmita beacon signal on receipt of a selective call ending in 99.Refer to the (99) beacon mode procedure on page 5-24.The thousand and hundred digits of the address must be thesame for both the beacon transmitting and receiving stations.If mobile transceivers have the beacon enabled, the first twodigits of each mobile transceivers self-identification addressshould be set to a different number so that they do not alltransmit a beacon response together.



General information for both modes of operation

The beacon signal consists of four long tones.

Self-identification addresses ending in 99 should be avoidedas these will cause confusion.

No alarm or call is recorded at the receiving transceiver,only the Tx indicator flashes.

If the receiving transceiver is in scan mode, the scansequence recommences immediately.

Normal selective call operation is not affected.

You can check thesetones for signal strengthand compare them withsignal strengths fromother channels.

Select the channel givingthe best return signalstrength.



Using the external alarm feature

If your transceiver has option SD fitted, an external alarmfacility is made available through the external alarm socketon the rear panel (refer to figure 2.2).

A pair of relay contacts are wired to the socket, which closefor two minutes when your transceiver receives a selectivecall. The relay contacts can be used to operate an alarm bellor buzzer.

• Relay contact rating: 50V DC, 1 Amp

• Plug connections: pins 2 and 3.

Further details on the socket can be found in Section 10.

These contacts must not be used to switch voltagesgreater than 50V, or loads that draw more than 1 Amp.


6. Using the receiver in scan mode

In the receiver scan mode your transceiver is able to listeninto selected channels for transmitted signals. Once a signalhas been detected, the transceiver holds that channel for apre-selected time before continuing with the scan. This isdetermined at setup.

In normal operating conditions, a maximum of 15 channelscan be programmed to be scanned in sequence for audio(voice) signals. A maximum of 8 selective call channels canalso be included but must be programmed within the firsteight entries.

The scanning facilities can only be used with a suitableantenna system. Mobile installations require a Codanautomatic tuning whip antenna.

It is assumed that before you use any of the procedures inthis section, you have turned on the transceiver unlessotherwise requested.

All displays in this section show examples of channel andfrequency numbers. You must insert your selected channeland frequency numbers.

Using the receiver in scan mode


Setting up the scan mode

The scan program allows your transceiver to scan a selected number of frequencies.Your transceiver also has the option to run in normal or Auto-scan mode. The Auto-scan mode automatically puts the transceiver back into scan after five minutes ofinactivity (such as no channel change, PTT, tune etc.). These scan facilities have twooptions:

RFDS and Telstra services


7. RFDS and Telstra services

This section describes how you can use your 9313transceiver to access the following remote area safetyorganisations:

• the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS)

• Telstra (formerly OTC).

It briefly covers the services offered by each organisationand details the procedures required to use these services.

Selected channel frequencies for both services should beprogrammed into the transceiver. Make sure the frequenciesare effective for operation in the area you will be in.



The Royal Flying Doctor ServiceThe Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) is a vital communications link in theAustralian outback. Apart from maintaining contact and a listening watch for medicalservices, the organisation also provides general communication facilities whichincludes radiotelephone and lettergram services.

Each base station is allotted with a unique range of channel frequencies, some ofwhich may be used to provide a day and night communications watch for medical aidand assistance.

It is most important before making a trip, or entering into an area covered by a basestation, that the listening watch frequencies and operating times are known. Yourtransmission may never be heard if you have chosen the wrong channel to make a callfor help.

How to contact the RFDS

To contact an RFDS base station, select the station primary frequency and tune theantenna. Before transmitting, check that the channel is not being used and follow theprocedure in section 4, Transmitting.

Emergency communications

Each RFDS base station has its own specified times for routine medical consultation.If during normal RFDS base station hours medical advice is required and cannot waituntil the routine medical session, you should:

• wait until the first quiet moment on the frequency

• transmit and call the base station by call sign, give your own call sign andmention that this is an urgent medical call.



On receipt of this call, the RFDS base station will deal only with the outstationseeking medical advice. If the frequency is heavily congested with traffic and thereare no quiet periods, the above medical call should be preceded by a 20 second RFDSemergency alarm call.

If medical assistance is required at a time when the RFDS base station is normallyclosed, at night or at weekends, follow the procedure on page 7-4, Making an RFDSemergency call.

If the RFDS base station has heard your call it will respond within two minutes with atransmitted tone you can be assured that either the local hospital or police stationhas been notified that you are in need of assistance. RFDS staff will respond withinfive minutes of the call being transmitted and will ask the station making theemergency call to identify itself. You must then respond by following the procedureMaking an RFDS emergency call on page 7-4.
