8.4.3 Free Channel Mode
This mode of operation allows the SG7200 to operation in SITOR
Free channel mode. Free channel mode allows the 7200 to beacon
on the current channel using a morse code identification followed
by a series of 8 ARQ bursts.
The program will report SITOR Standby with a link status indica-
tion of “Free Channel Mode”. To exit this mode of operation press
either the Home key or select either ARQ Listen mode or FEC
Listen / Standby from the SITOR menu.
Note that for Free channel mode to be enabled, the Free Channel
CW ID must be filled in with the correct information. Normally
this is in the form of “DE SGC” and that the Free Channel Suffix
is filled in with the correct two letter and two digit suffix.
To adjust the Free channel burst timing the two digits in the suffix
must be changed. The time delay can be calculate by by mulitply-
ing the two digits by .45. This will give the time delay in seconds.
