The HF band is the range of frequencies between 3 and 30 MHz. HF transceivers usually cover a frequency range of 1.6 to 30 MHz. Codan HF transceivers transmit on single sidebands. This reduces the power required to send HF signals, and increases the number of channels available within the HF spectrum.
The call system is the method the network uses to make and receive calls. For example, in networks that use the Codan Selcall call system to make calls, the user enters the address of the station they want to call, then selects the channel/mode on which to make the call.

WARNING damage to the battery. The Codan battery packs have in-built monitoring, which is reported in the Battery entry in the Control List. You should view the Battery Cycle setting for the number of times the battery has received input current (that is, has been charged).
Care and safety information Storage of batteries Codan recommends that batteries are fully charged prior to storage, and again prior to use. The length of time that they can be stored before recharging is necessary depends on the type of battery pack and the average storage temperature.

Preparing the transceiver for use Tactical whip antennas There are three tactical whip antennas available for use with the 2110 series Manpack Transceiver: • tape whip • knock-down whip • 3 m (10 ft) collapsible whip All whip antennas are omnidirectional in performance, therefore providing radiation efficiency equally in all directions depending on the deployment position (for example, vertical position for long distances and horizontal position for short distances).
It is approximately 10 m (11 yd) in length. The tactical long wire antenna is suitable for scanning ALE/CALM and Codan Selcall networks. The tactical long wire antenna and adaptor are designed for deployment on the antenna stud on the front panel of the transceiver using one support structure.
Tactical broadband dipole antenna The tactical broadband dipole antenna is a multi-frequency antenna that does not require tuning. It is suitable for scanning ALE/CALM and Codan Selcall networks. The tactical broadband dipole antenna is designed for deployment on the connector on the front panel of the transceiver using at least one support structure.
If required, restart your transceiver to invoke self-testing. The self-test checks the memory, hardware, LCD and keys. If a serious fault is reported, contact your Codan representative. Table 14 contains some general tips for troubleshooting your transceiver. Table 14:...
Standing wave ratio The 2110 series Manpack Transceiver measures the forward and reflected powers between the transceiver and its antenna load, and represents these in a ratio called the SWR. To ensure correct installation, the power and SWR assessment should be performed with the transceiver working in its normal antenna system.
Certain types of test calls can be used to test the transceiver. With on-air testing, the difference in equipment between stations must be taken into account when determining the quality of the transmission. Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual...

Fit a suitable fuse as near as practicable to the positive side of the battery connection. A 32 A cartridge fuse (Codan part number 15-00711) is NOTE recommended. In a mobile installation, route the power cable away from other vehicle wiring, including high-voltage ignition wiring between the spark plugs, distributor and coil.
In a vehicle-battery supply installation, we recommend that a suitable cartridge fuse (32 A, Codan part number 15-00711) is fitted in the positive wire, close to the battery. This protects the power cable from risk of fire if damaged insulation should touch surrounding metalwork or the vehicle chassis.
All high-voltage wiring from the ignition coil to the spark plugs should be: • as short as possible • clean • as close to the engine block as possible • of a suppressed type Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual...
To minimise noise: • separate the regulator control wire from all other wiring • keep the wiring as short as possible If the wiring is longer than approximately 300 mm (12 in), it should be shielded. Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual...

Networks are based on call systems. A call system is a method of making and receiving calls. For example, if you are in a network that uses the Codan Selcall or Open Selcall call system, you make calls by entering the address of the station you want to call, then selecting the channel/mode you want to use.
ALE/CALM, or Voice Only. The call systems from which you can select depend on the options installed in the transceiver. If your network uses the Codan Selcall or Open Selcall call system, you can make calls by selecting an appropriate channel/mode then entering the address of the station you want to call.
The call detect time is the inverse of the scan rate. For example, a call detect time of 0.2 s is equivalent to a scan rate of 5 channels/s. Codan HF transceivers can scan at up to 8 channels/s in an ALE/CALM network, hence the call detect time of 0.12 s.
Page 162
The Network List Privacy Mode The Privacy Mode setting applies to Codan Selcall and ALE/CALM networks only. The privacy mode is the method used to encrypt the data content of calls between stations. If you select Registered or Group, you must enter an appropriate password into the Privacy Password setting.
The Network List Nominal Preamble The Nominal Preamble setting applies to Codan Selcall, Open Selcall, and ALE/CALM networks only. The nominal preamble is the length of the preamble signal sent by the transceiver when you make a call. This is the signal for which other transceivers scan in order to detect your call.
Page 164
For Codan Selcall or Open Selcall networks with more than 10 channels in the network, the nominal preamble for each channel may be set to 0.3 s.

• If you make frequent and significant changes to the channels and networks in the transceiver, you may want to use NSP to maintain this information. Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual...
These networks enable the operator to make a call on any channel in the transceiver with minimal prompting by the transceiver. Networks called *CALM, *Selcall and *Voice These networks are used with Quick Start (see page 78, Quick Start). Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual...
