Using the transceiver
3-40 HF SSB transceiver user guide
You may want to:
• set up a customised message that appears briefly every
time you switch the transceiver on (refer to the HF SSB
transceiver reference manual, Chapter 7, Power up
message on/off)
• change the initial mute setting used when the transceiver
is switched on (refer to the HF SSB transceiver reference
manual, Chapter 7, Power up mute setting)
• set up the transceiver to start scanning automatically if
you do not touch any button or knob for a certain period
(refer to the HF SSB transceiver reference manual,
Chapter 8, Scan table automatic scanning start)
• change the RF gain setting to suit the level of electrical
interference in the area where your station is located
(refer to the HF SSB transceiver reference manual,
Chapter 7, RF gain on/off).
Handling selcalls
If your transceiver is fitted for sending selcalls, you should:
• set up your address in a selcall group so that other
stations can call you (refer to the HF SSB transceiver
reference manual, Chapter 8, Selcall address setup)
• assign the selcall group to the channels you are going to
use for sending calls (refer to the HF SSB transceiver
reference manual, Chapter 3, Channel creation and
editing)
• consider how the transceiver communicates with stations
incapable of using addresses longer than four digits (refer
to the HF SSB transceiver reference manual, Chapter 8,
Selcall address size compatibility).
