Introduction

Congratulations on your new SAILOR HC4500 MF/HF maritime ra-

dio telephone with built-in DSC (Digital Selective Calling) system and

radiotelex, fulfilling the highest international standards for marine

MF/HF communication and safety procedures. For an explanation of

DSC, see page 2.

Your SAILOR HC4500 MF/HF is a part of the modular system 4000

which also includes a HF single sideband radiotelephone. It has

built-in MF/HF telex if connected to a PC and/or a printer. If con-

nected to a GPS or other maritime navigation system it can auto-

matically include the true UTC time and your position in its DSC

distress messages.

SAILOR marine equipment is specially designed for the extremely

rugged conditions on bord a ship, based on more than 50 years’

experience with all kinds of boats, from small pleasure crafts, over

fishing boats working under all climatic conditions, to the biggest

ships.

MF/HF Fundamental Info

Propagation of MF and HF Radio

Waves.

MF/HF radiocommunications provide a medium and long range

service.The 1.6-4 MHz marine band is intended primarily for coastal

operation beyond normal VHF communication range.A reliable

range of more than 150 nautical miles can be expected in most

areas in the daytime, more in the nighttime. Propagation of the radio

waves in this band is mainly by ground waves i.e. the waves from

the transmitter aerial follow the earth’s curvature to the receiver

aerial.The high frequency range 4 - 30 MHz can provide

communication for hundreds or even thousands of nautical miles.

The long range is achieved by sky waves reflected from the iono-

sphere. Propagation of the radio waves depends on a number of

factors such as frequency, time of day, time of year, and solar

activity.The channels allocated 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

communication dependent on distance and time of day.

Radiotelephony

The 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 (amplitude modulation,

H3E) may be used in addition for communication with non-GMDSS

ships. AM mode is used also when receiving broadcasting.The

frequencies for radiotelephone distress and safety traffic in the HF

bands are 4125 kHz, 6215 kHz, 8291 kHz, 12290 kHz, and 16420

kHz.Working frequencies for public correspondence with coast

stations are arranged in pairs for duplex/semi-duplex operation. For

the HF bands these channels are allocated numbers by ITU on an

international basis. In addition a number of simplex frequencies are

available in each band for ship-to-ship communication.

Radiotelex

Marine telex is also referred to as ‘Narrow Band Direct Printing’

(NBDP). Due to the narrow bandwidth of the transmissions, a longer

range may be expected compared to radiotelephony.The frequen-

cies for radiotelex distress and safety traffic are 2174.5 kHz, 4177.5

kHz, 6268 kHz, 8376.5 kHz, 12520 kHz, and 16695 kHz.Working

frequencies for public correspondence with coast stations are

arranged in pairs. For the HF bands these channels are allocated

numbers by ITU on an international basis. In addition a number of

simplex frequencies are available in each band for ship-to-ship

communication.

DSC

DSC (Digital Selective Calling) is an automatic calling system which

allows a specific station to be contacted and made aware that a

station wishes to communicate with it. In addition to calls to specific

stations the system can also be used to call ‘all ships’ and groups of

ships and this is of significance for its use for DSC distress alerting.

DSC is an alerting signal only and the communication which follows

the call is made on an appropriate frequency band using radiote-

lephony or radiotelex.The frequencies for DSC distress and safety

calling are 2187.5 kHz, 4207.5 kHz, 6312 kHz, 8414.5 kHz, 12577

kHz, and 16804.5 kHz. Calling frequencies for public correspond-

ence with coast stations are arranged in pairs, both international and

national frequencies are assigned. In addition the frequency 2177

kHz may be used for ship-to-ship calling.

1. Press the Shift key followed by the Power Key.

The output power is set to HIGH, MED or LOW.

Repeat until the desired setting is reached.

Rx frequencies may be keyed in directly from the keyboard

Tuning

(Frequency display only)

1. Rotate the TUNE button to adjust frequency or RF-gain of the receiver.

Functions indicated by arrow in the Frequency display:

TUNE: Frequency tuning in 1 kHz steps (AM), 100 Hz steps (SSB) or 500Hz (Telex).

CLFR: Frequency tuning in 10 Hz steps.

RF-G: Manual RF-gain tuning, AGC off.

Two-tone Alarm Signal

To switch to the Two Tone Alarm Signal display: Press the Shift key

followed by the Alarm key.

Transmission of the two tone alarm signal will continue for 45

seconds, but may be stopped manually by pressing the STOP key in

the frequency display.When the alarm signal ceases press the

handset key and transmit your distress message by speaking into

the handset microphone with a clear and calm voice.

Two-tone Alarm Display Functions:

Listening for Calls

Coast stations transmit traffic lists consisting of call signs/names of

the ships for which they have traffic.

The traffic lists are sent at specified times and at intervals of typically

two hours.They are broadcasted on the normal working frequencies

on the coast station. Ships should, as far as possible, listen to the

traffic lists transmitted by relevant coast stations.On hearing their

call sign they should establish communication as soon as they can

do so.

1. Select the appropriate station.

2. Select the channel on which traffic lists are transmitted.

3. Switch loudspeaker on and adjust volume to an appropriate

level.

If on HF, traffic lists are transmitted in more frequency bands

simultaneously, search for the channel with the best propagation

conditions.

Making a Manual Call

Wait until transmission of the traffic list has finished and the channel

is free. Call the coast station on the working frequency on which the

traffic list was received or as instructed by the coast station.

1. Hook off the handset.

2. Press the PTT key on the handset when speaking.

Say:

1. <Called station’s name (3 times)>

2.‘This is’ <Your ship’s name (3 times)>

3. ‘Over’

3. Release the PTT key to listen.

4. When answered:

Follow the instructions from the coast station.The coast station may

ask for further identification, information on position and next port of

call, and may suggest another working channel for the traffic to

follow.If the coast station is not ready to receive traffic immediately it

may ask you to wait for a specific number of minutes.

Note:The two tone alarm signal generator is intended for alerting

ships not yet equipped with DSC equipment. It may be used only to

announce a distress message and primarily on the frequency 2182

kHz in AM telephony mode.
