HF SSB transceiver user guide 6-7

Telstra services

Telstra Mobile Satellite and Radio Services provide the HF

SSB transceiver user with the ability to access the public

switched telephone network (PSTN) at any time of the day or

night. This brings the convenience of home or office to the

outback traveller through the radio telephone facility of your

transceiver and the Telstra organisation. You can send and

receive calls just like a normal telephone.

The services provided by Telstra include:

• Radphone Direct Dial

(RDD)

for direct dialling from your

transceiver without operator

assistance

• Radphone selcall operator connected

telephone calls for registered

selcall users

• Radphone operator connected for non-

registered users suitable for

voice or selcall calling.

To register for ‘Radphone Direct Dial’ or ‘Radphone selcall’

and for further details of Telstra services, contact the Telstra

Customer Service Centre on Freecall 1800 810 023 or

(02) 901 2103.

You can call a Telstra station by sending a selcall (which is

recommended), tone call or voice call on the appropriate

Telstra channel indicated in the frequency list handbook

supplied with your transceiver.

You should always select the correct frequency for initial

contact with a Telstra station as a listening watch is only kept

on the voice calling channels.
