OPERATION

4.1

Installation and Programming

As the KG510 can be installed to operate as either a Base Station or as a Repeater, some of the
instructions in this document may apply to one application only, some may apply in both cases, while
others may only apply if the particular function has been enabled during programming of the KG510.
The KG510 must be programmed before it will operate correctly. This is best done by the equipment
supplier or a competent radio tradesman. They will require the Kyodo 51BS programming software to
do this correctly.
It is important that the KG510 be correctly installed at its working location. It is recommended that this
be done by a competent radio tradesman.
As a minimum, it is necessary to:
•
Connect the DC Input power lead to a suitable 13.8 Volt Regulated DC Power supply that
has sufficient capacity. (Ensure that the DC Polarity is correct).
•
Connect the two antenna connectors to suitable antennas. (Ensure that the VSWR of the
antennas is correct).
•
Insert the Kyodo KD561 Microphone into the microphone connector on the front panel.

Basic Operation

4.2.1

Switch On

Switch the KG510 "ON" by pressing the knob (12) and then check that the LED indicator (13)
is illuminated.
4.2.2

Adjust the Volume Setting

Rotate the Volume Knob (10) clockwise (from the fully counterclockwise position) until the
audio level from the speaker is suitable.
4.2.3

Adjust the Squelch Setting

Rotate the Squelch Knob clockwise (from the fully counter clockwise position) slowly until the
background noise can no longer be heard. It is wise to slightly rotate the knob further in the
clockwise direction (so that variations in the background noise level do not "break" the
squelch setting and cause annoying squelch noises to be heard from the speaker).
4.2.4

Select the Channel

Select the required channel by pressing the [SHIFT] key followed by the channel number
keys within two seconds. E.g. [SHIFT] + [0] + [1] to select channel #1. The LCD Display
should now display CH01 and (if programmed with a channel label) the channel name:
"CH01 Kyodo-co".
4.2.5

Receiving

You should now be able to hear any radio traffic that occurs on channel #1 on the KG510. It
may be necessary to further slightly adjust the Volume setting to suit your listening
requirements.
4.2.6

Transmitting

Depending on the legal requirements in your country, and the operating requirements within
your organisation, it may be necessary to announce your Call Sign, and will probably be
necessary to announce the Call Sign of the party you are calling at the start of your
transmission.
When transmitting, it is necessary to hold the microphone about 75mm (3") from your mouth
and speak clearly into the grill of the microphone.
It is also necessary to press and hold the Press To Talk (PTT) bar on the side of the
microphone depressed while speaking into the microphone.
