[. . . ] In a duplex system, the signals are received on one frequency and transmitted on another. The signals are received by the Duplex Receiver R2120 and transmitted by means of the Exciter inside the RE2100. The difference between the RX and TX frequency must always be at least 280 kHz, which is equal to the smallest difference found for the ITU channels. If two selected frequencies are separated by less than the programmed value of 280 kHz, the system will automatically change over from duplex to simplex mode. Every time the handset key is released in duplex mode, the reception of signals is switched over from the Duplex Receiver R2120 to the Receiver/Exciter RE2100, which gives a situation equal to simplex mode. This procedure will be reversed whenever the handset key is pressed again and the system will then return to the duplex mode. The duplex mode can be selected in two ways, either by directly keying-in the wanted frequencies or choosing a preprogrammed duplex channel by means of the channel number. Both methods are described below. 10. 2 Select Duplex Mode by means of Frequencies Key-in the wanted RX and TX frequency, which must be separated by at least 280 kHz E. g. Press: STOP Read-out: RX 4 4 2 0 ENT SIGNAL AE CURRENT 0 . 5 1 2 3 RX kHz TX TX POWER kHz J3E SQ AGC and: STOP TX 4 1 2 8 ENT To select duplex mode press: CH Read-out: SIGNAL AE CURRENT 0 . 5 1 2 3 RX kHz TX TX POWER J3E SQ kHz AGC Now press the handset key and make your duplex conversation. RE2100/C2140/R2120/T - DUPLEX OPERATION 10-1 10. 3 Select Duplex Mode by means of Channel Number The duplex mode can also be selected directly by keying-in a channel number. Both ITU channels and user-defined quick select channels can be used. The only restriction, that must be observed, is the separation between the RX and TX frequency, which must be at least 280 kHz. All ITU channels are intended for duplex operation and they all meet the restriction on the frequency separation. Press: STOP Read-out: CH 4 2 2 SIGNAL AE CURRENT RX kHz TX ENT 0 . 5 1 2 3 TX POWER J3E SQ kHz AGC Now press the handset key and make your duplex conversation. 10. 4 Return to Simplex Mode All duplex channels can also be operated in simplex mode. To return to simplex mode press: RX Read-out: SIGNAL AE CURRENT 0 . 5 1 2 3 RX kHz TX TX POWER J3E SQ kHz AGC Now the display will show the RX and TX frequency and the handset key must then be operated in accordance with the principle of simplex communication. 10-2 RE2100/C2140/R2120/T - DUPLEX OPERATION 11 TELEGRAPHY OPERATION 11. 1 General To obtain the facility of telegraphy, your HF SSB Radiotelephone System must be fitted with the Duplex/Telegraphy Receiver R2120T and the CW Unit H2185. The interconnection between these units and the standard equipment for simplex radiotelephony is shown in the block diagram. The selection of frequencies and mode is performed from the Keyboard of the Receiver/Exciter RE2100. The mode used for telegraphy is named CW, which stands for Continuous Waves. AERIAL COUPLER 11. 2 CW Unit H2185 The CW Unit H2185 is used as interface between the Morse Key and the Radio System. The transmitted symbols (dots and dashes) are transformed into an audible tone by means of the Side Tone Oscillator inside H2185. The frequency of this tone is factory adjusted to 600 Hz, but it can easily be adjusted to another frequency by means of a potentiometer at the rear panel of H2185. The volume is controlled by means of the Volume Control at the front plate of H2185, which also includes on/off switches for external and internal loudspeakers. The CW Unit H2185 also includes a connector for a Headset, which contains both microphone and earpiece. The Headset is always listening-in when the telegraphy mode is selected, but it can also be used for both simplex and duplex radiotelephony. [. . . ] To end an intercom you just place the handsets in the hooks. . 17. 4. 2 17. 2. 1 Operation All receiver functions are operational, except for the RF gain control. Priority 17. 2. 2 Priority All connected units have different priorities. The priority is defined in the software and must be programmed after installation (see the instruction book for the Control Unit C2140). Intercom has low priority and it is always possible to interrupt an intercom from a unit with a higher priority. In order to do this, lift the handset STOP All connected remote control units are able to control the Receiver/Exciter RE2100. from the hook and press the ENT button. 17. 3 Active Mode In active mode, one unit has the handset removed from the hook.
