3A-11. HF COMMAND SET (718U-5).
a. Description. The HF command set provides
long-range voice communications within the frequency
range of 2.000 to 29.999 MHz. The HF command set
employs standard Amplitude Modulation (AM), Lower
Sideband (LSB) modulation, or Upper Sideband (USB)
modulation. The distance range of the HF command
set is approximately 2,500 miles, and varies with
atmospheric conditions.
protected by the 3-ampere HF RCVR and the
25-ampere HF PWR circuit breakers located on the
overhead circuit breaker panel, Figure 2-16, Sheets 1
and 2. The associated antenna is shown in Figure
2-1.
Keying the HF radio set while operating the
ADF No. 2 set causes unreliable ADF
signals.
