HF radio transmission
2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 25
Etiquette for the use of HF radio
There is a standard procedure for communicating over HF radio. Before you begin
transmitting, switch off scanning, select a channel, then press PTT to initiate tuning of
the antenna. Listen to the channel that you are going to use and ensure that there is no
voice or data communication taking place. You may need to wait until the channel is
clear or select another channel.
When you first establish communication with another station it is customary to state their
call sign and then your own using the phonetic alphabet (see Table 4 on page 26). For
example:
‘Alpha Bravo One, this is Alpha Bravo Two. Do you receive me? Over.’
In this example your call sign is AB2 and you are calling a station with the call sign
AB1. A call sign is a group of letters and numbers issued by a government authority to
identify a station. The phonetic alphabet is used to ensure that your call sign is
understood.
The word ‘over’ is used to signify the end of your transmission. The transceiver may be
set up to transmit a short beep when you release the PTT button on the handset. When
your conversation with the other party is finished, the party that speaks last should say
‘out’.
Swearing or foul language should not be used—heavy penalties can apply.
Keep communication as short as possible.
NOTE
If you have the Cfg LBT Mode set to Enabled or Override allowed, the
transceiver searches for a channel that is not being used; you do not need
to check any channels first.
