  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction Congratulations on your new SAILOR CU5100 MF/HF maritime radio telephone with built-in DSC (Digital Selective Calling) system, fulfilling the highest international standards for marine MF/HF communication and safety procedures. The transceiver is born with a 2187,5kHz DSC watch receiver forming an ideal system for MF GMDSS installations. The transceiver can easily be upgraded for 6 channel scanning DSC watch receiver and Telex operation to comply with MF/HF requirements in sea area A3.
  • Page 4 Training Information (valid for TU5160) The System 5000 MF/HF is designed for “occupational use only” and is also classified as such. It must only be used in the course of employment by individuals aware of both the hazards as well as the way to minimize those hazards. The radio is thus NOT intended for use in an uncontrolled environment by general public.

  • Page 11: Mf/Hf Fundamental Info

    1 MF/HF Fundamental info Propagation of MF and HF Radio Waves. MF/HF radiocommunications provide a medium and long range service. The 1.6-4 MHz marine band is intended primarily for coastal operation beyond normal VHF communication range. A reliable range of more than 150 nautical miles can be expected in most areas in the daytime, more in the nighttime.
