An identifier (1 through 6 alphanumeric characters,
beginning with an alpha but excluding E, C, C plus 1
through 6, and P).
Identifiers are valid only if they exist in the frequency
list.
If the VHF-FM is in the frequency hopping mode and
valid data is scratchpadded, depressing L1 will cause the
transceiver to be returned and the display at L1 to be up-
dated to reflect the scratchpadded data. Valid data is:
A HOPSET channel (0 through 6 or an M).
A HOPSET number (3 digit number).
An identifier (1 through 6 alphanumeric characters,
beginning with an alpha but excluding E, C, C plus 1
through 6).
HOPSET and identifier entries are valid only if they
exist in the hopset list.
NOTE
Hopset channel 0 is processed and displayed as
an M channel.
1 Displayed data at L1. The first line of
text at L1 is 2-FM followed by an ICS select arrow if the
radio has been selected by the transmitter-intercom se-
lector switch (audio control panel, fig. 3-1). The text CIPH
and a fill number is displayed to the right of the ICS select
arrow if the cipher mode has been selected.
The second line of text at L1 can read:
Channel number/frequency followed by an optional
identifier.
E (for emergency)/1 followed by 40.5, followed by an
optional identifier.
Net channel number/followed by a FH followed by the
net number in the frequency hopping mode.
M/ followed by a frequency if the radio is tuned to a fre-
quency list or if the cipher fill number/status is changed
after the radio is tuned.
The third line of text (L1) may contain one of the fol-
lowing messages in the following priority:
FAIL - The radio has failed one of several test.
EMER - The emergency tune function has been se-
lected using the KU EMER switch.
TUNING - The ARC-201 is tuning and L1 is inopera-
tive.
NO TSEC - The FH or FH/M mode is selected and a
TSEC variable has not been stored into permanent
memory.
(3) 2-FM SETUP page. The 2-FM SETUP page
allows the operator to set up the VHF-FM transceiver. On
power-up, the transceiver is put into the self-test mode
for approximately 30 seconds. During this period, the
legend TUNING is displayed adjacent to L1 on the
COMM control page and at the top center of this page
and the transceiver will not respond to operator inputs.
(a) SC (single channel) mode. The data at the
top center of the page is:
Top line - 2-FM SETUP
Second line - Currently tuned preset channel, fre-
quency, and plain/cipher indication plus identifier
Third line - FAIL, EMER, or TUNING if appropriate
1 L1. Successive depressions of L1 will
cause the mode to change from SC to FH to FH/M, with
the active mode boxed.
2 L5. In SC mode, this function is a nor-
mal clock function.
If the scratchpad is blank, depressing R5 will change
the display of time stored in the transceiver. If time is not
available from the transceiver, the display remains blank.
If valid data is scratchpadded, the data will be displayed
adjacent to L5 and sent to the transceiver.
Valid time data is day (0 through 99), hours (0 through
23), and minutes (0 through 59). Data fields not entered
are considered zero.
3 R1. Successive depressions of R1 will
change the squelch from OFF to ON, with the active
mode boxed.
4 R2. Successive depressions of R2 will
cause the frequency offset for the selected preset chan-
nel to change from 0 to +5 to +10 to -10 to -5, with the
active offset boxed. The offset selected for a preset chan-
nel is stored with that preset channel.
NOTE
When the EMER switch on the keyboard unit
(KU) is activated, 40.5 MHz is tuned, squelch is
set to ON, and the function keys on the 2-FM
AM/FM page are disabled.
