Introduction

Preventive Maintenance

The following system checks should be made every six to twelve months:

• Check the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR).

• Inspect the tightness of all electrical connections.

• Inspect the antenna coaxial cable for wear or breaks on the shielding.

• Inspect the tightness of all screws and other mounting hardware.

Troubleshooting

Should the unit malfunction or perform poorly, follow these procedures:

If the transceiver is completely inoperative: Check the power cord and fuse.

If there is trouble with receiving: Check the VOLUME control setting. Be sure the

SQUELCH is adjusted properly. Possibly the radio is over-squelched.

If there is trouble with transmitting: Check that the transmission line (coaxial cable) is securely connected to the ANTENNA connector. Check that the antenna is fully extended for proper operation. Check that all transmission line (coaxial cable) connections are secure and free of corrosion.

23

UHF CB Transceiver

Operation

Using Repeater Channels

UHF CB repeaters are used to retransmit or relay your signal. Repeaters will extend the range of your radio and overcome the shielding effect caused by solid obstructions. In normal Simplex operation, your radio transmits on one particular frequency and receives on that same frequency.

If there is a barrier that partially blocks your transmitted signal, the probability of another radio receiving the signal is very slim. Hills, tall buildings, metallic structures,...etc tend to act as a screen between radios.

Standard Operation without the aid of a Repeater station.

Operation with the aid of a Repeater Station (Duplex).

The signal coming from your radio is received by the Repeater Station and the retransmitted at the same time on another channel. This operation is called “Duplexing”.

For example,

CH01 on Duplex Mode will Receive on CH01 but Transmit on CH31

CH02 on Duplex Mode will Receive on CH02 but Transmit on CH32 etc...

If you transmit on CH01 Duplex mode, you are actually transmitting on CH31 the repeater station down-converts your signal and retransmits on CH01.

UHF CB Transceiver

Operation

Master Scan Mode

MASTER SCAN allows continual communication across congested channels.

Master Scan scans channels stored into GS Memory and only opens the squelch for signals with the correct subcode (CTCSS or DCS tone).

To achieve this, all radios in your group must have the same channels in GS memory

(group channels) and use the same Subcode (CTCSS or DCS tone).

By scanning only group channels, radios in the network will be able to detect and receive group transmissions- continual communication without interruption. When transmitting in this mode, the radio switches to an unused group channel if it detects another signal with no code, or the wrong code, on the channel last used by the group.

In this way, all group users will be able to have continual communication to or from other users.

CH09-CH20 are stored into GS Memory and CTCSS01 is set for MASTER SCAN

Subcode by default. The GS memory can be changed, channel by channel, if desired

- but for Master Scan to work effectively each radio in the group must have the same channels in its GS memory.

To add/remove channels from GS SCAN Memory, refer the section above.

NOTE

RX only Channels (CH22, CH23, CH61, CH62 and CH63), User

Programmable RX Channels (CH81 to CH180) and Police or Fire (&

Selective Calling

Selective Calling (Selcall) is a special Sequential Tone Squelch System that allows the user to receive/transmit calls selectively from/to an individual or group, on a shared busy channel. Therefore Selcall is a group feature used by groups with similarly set up radios.

The UH9050 has a Selective Calling system. Exceptional features, like 10 Selcall ID

Memories, Receiver Quieting, Tone Squelch Scanning, Tone and Group Calling make the UH9050 superior to other transceivers in its class.

Receiver Quieting (Tone Squelch)

When activated on individual UHF-CB channels (except for emergency CH05 and

CH35), it automatically mutes the receiver audio circuit of the radio. It will stay in this

Quiet mode as long as the Selcall tone code (Selcall ID) required to open the muting circuit is not received.

Call Alarm

When a received code matches to your Selcall ID, an alarm (CA Alert) will be emitted informing you that a caller is on the channel.

Tone Squelch Scanning

Scans only tone squelched Channels.

Tone Calling

Allows you to selectively call another radio. Up to 10 Selcall IDs can be stored for frequently called radios.

Receiver Quiet (TSQ) Mode

Puts the receiver in the QUIET mode (also known as the Tone Squelch (TSQ) mode) for the selected channel. When activated, the transceiver prevents any unwanted conversations in the channel from being heard unless the call is specifically directed to you and the Selcall ID required to open the QUIET condition has been received.

NOTE

Under this condition, PTT is temporarily disabled. If you wish to use the same Channel for normal communication, simply remove the channel from QUIET mode.

To Activate/Deactivate Tone Squelch (TSQ) on a

Channel

1. Press / channel selector to select the channel you want to put in or take out of

‘QUIET’ mode.

2. Press and hold [TSQ] for 2 seconds.

Two beeps will sound and the TSQ icon appears on or disappears from the LCD

display.

Receiving a Selcall

While in TSQ mode, when

UH9050

receives a code matching your Selcall ID, it will perform the following operations: a) Automatically responds to the caller by transmitting Acknowledge Tones.

b) Informs you that a caller is on the Channel by emitting a CALL ALARM

(Default Alarm Setting: four successive beeps in a regular interval for 10 seconds.

Refer to p.51, ‘Alarm Mode’ for other alarm settings) and displays the CAL icon.

c) Flashes the TSQ icon for about 20 seconds allowing you to use the PTT button. If

you are not able to respond within the 20 second period, TSQ icon stops flashing and

‘QUIET’ mode resumes.

NOTE

The

UH9050

can decode a Selcall call even though not in ‘QUIET’ mode.

UNIDEN UH9050

46

UHF CB Transceiver


Scanning Tone Squelched Channels

If you are using two or more Channels in the TSQ mode, you can monitor all of these

Channels for selective calls by using the TSQ scanning feature.

To use this feature start the TSQ Scan by pressing and holding [TSQ] for 2 seconds during Open Scan, Group Scan or Master Scan.

Unlike Normal Scanning, TSQ scans and checks detected signals for Selcall information.

If this information is not found, TSQ Scanning resumes.

When a call is received during TSQ Scanning,

UH9050

follows the same response as when receiving a call on a Tone Squelch Channel. It differs only in the following ways:

1. If the call is not answered within 20 seconds, TSQ Scanning resumes.

The CAL icon remains on the LCD display.

To look for the Channel where the CALL is received.

a) Cancel TSQ Scanning by pressing [SCAN].

b) Press / channel selector to browse through the TSQ Channels. The CAL

indicator marks the Channel where the Call is received.

2. When answered, TSQ Scanning is automatically deactivated. The Channel is removed

from the QUIET Operating Mode.

To deactivate TSQ Scanning:

a) Press and hold [TSQ] for 2 seconds.

The unit returns to Normal Scanning Mode.

b) Press [SCAN].

The whole scanning operation is cleared.

c) When a Selcall is received, press

PTT.

NOTE

The chance of receiving and decoding Selcalls effectively during TSQ

Scanning can be increased in many different ways. You can either decrease the number of channels to be scanned thus increasing the scanning speed – or – change some of the Selcall parameters (refer to

‘Selcall Programming’).

UNIDEN UH9050

Group Calling

The

UH9050

has the capability to respond to Group Calling and to transmit Group Calling

Codes.

Group Calling allows you to call members of your group simultaneously. However, to do this, you need to follow a certain format (see below) when programming your TX Selcall

ID.

Selcall ID Format

To call Transmitter SELCALL ID

10 radios [X] [X] [X] [X] [A]

100 radios [X] [X] [X] [A] [A]

1000 radios [X] [X] [A] [A] [A]

10000 radios [X] [A] [A] [A] [A] where: [X] is a common Selcall ID prefix of your group

- and - [A] is the CCIR Assigned Group Tone Code

Example:

If one group comprises 10 members with Selcall IDs the ID numbers could be as follows:

Group ID # Individual ID#

[1] [2] [3] [4] [0]

[1] [2] [3] [4] [1]

[1] [2] [3] [4] [2]

[1] [2] [3] [4] [3] to -

[1] [2] [3] [4] [9]

all in TSQ mode at CH20

If someone transmits ID 1234A on CH20, all of the above units will open their Tone

Squelched Receiver.

Group Calls and ordinary Selcalls can be differentiated in the following manner:

Group Call - Low tone beeps

Ordinary Selcall - High tone beeps

UNIDEN UH9050

SELCALL Settings

Tone Period

Tone period is the duration of one tone in a Selcall ID sequence. The setting of this parameter depends on the type of application. On long distance communications, for example: where the signal strength of the transmitted information is greatly reduced and affected by noise, it is advisable to use a longer Tone Period. A long Tone Period gives the decoder more time and information to check and evaluate the code.

NOTE

However, be sure that all the radios in your group use the same Tone

Period setting. Otherwise you will not be able to selectively call one another.

The UH9050 allows you to select which Tone Period is best for you. The three most commonly used tone settings (40,70 or 100 mSec) are available. With the freedom to change this parameter, you can easily adapt to the existing system in your group without the inconvenience of having the unit serviced by the dealer.


2. Press and hold [POWER] and [MENU]. The SELCALL Settings Menu will display (no

tone will sound).

3. Press [MENU] repeatedly to select the Tone Period setting - which is indicated on the

display as Pd.

4. Press

5. Press / channel selector to select the desired tone period from 40ms,

70ms or 100ms.

6. Press

[SCAN] to save the setting.

7. Press and hold [MENU], to save and exit programming mode.

Lead-in Delay

Lead-in delay is a Selcall transmission parameter that ‘wakes-up’ and helps the receiver of the other radio to lock onto the incoming signal. Each time a Selcall ID is transmitted, the Lead-in Delay attaches itself to the beginning of the code sequence and causes the transmitter to be on for a longer period prior to the code transmission. This makes for a stronger communication link between the transmitter and the other receiver.

One major advantage to having the longer Lead-in Delay is when selectively calling another radio via a repeater station. A longer Lead-in Delay helps to stabilise both the communication link from your radio to the repeater station and from the repeater station to the other radio.

Lead-in Tone

The Lead-in Tone, when programmed, ‘rides’ on the Lead-in Delay.

Hence, when transmitting a Selcall ID, a continuous tone will be heard for the duration of the Lead-in Delay. The main purpose of the Lead-in Tone is to increase the probability of contact between your unit and another radio when TSQ Scanning.

UHF-CB Channel Guidelines

NOTE

NOTE

Always listen on a channel (or observe the receive signal level meter) to ensure it is not already being used before transmitting.

Channels 5 and 35 are used for emergency channels.

CTCSS, DCS, TSQ and SELCALL will not operate on these channels.

Please follow these guidelines for channel use in Australia:

• Channels 05 and 35 are Emergency Channels.

• Channel 11 is a Calling Channel.

• Channels 22 and 23 are for telemetry and telecommand applications,

channels 61, 62 and 63 are for future use and TX is inhibited on these

channels.

General communication is accepted on all other channels with these guidelines:

• Channel 40 - road channel (Australia).

• Channels 01-08 (and 31-38), and Channels 41-48 (and 71-78) are

repeater channels.

Important information - 80 Channel UHF-CB channel expansion

To provide all users additional channel capacity within the UHF-CB

Band. The ACMA will change the majority of the current wideband 40 channel use to narrowband channel use. This allows for additional channels to be added, up to 80 Channels.

This simply means that the new narrowband radio you have purchased will have more channels than older radios. Please refer to the guidelines above and the channel chart for further channel information.

A list of currently authorised channels can also be obtained from the

ACMA website in Australia and the MBIE website in New Zealand.

Interference / Poor Audio

When a new narrowband radio receives a signal from an older wideband radio the speech may sound loud - however the radio’s builtin AVS (Automatic Volume Stabilizer) circuitry will detect and manage incoming audio to comparable levels.

Narrowband radios operating on CH41 - CH80 may encounter interference from a nearby wideband radios transmitting on high power on an adjacent channel (frequency).

When an older wideband radio receives a signal from a new narrowband radio the speech may sound quiet - the wideband radio user simply adjusts their radio volume for best performance.

The above situations are not a fault of the radio but a symptom of mixed wideband and narrowband radios in current use. It is expected that as older wideband radios are phased out this issue will be eliminated.
