(4.) Transmitter operating procedure (CI-
PHER):
1. Transmitter-interphone
selector
(audio control panel, fig. 3-1) -
No.2 position.
The HF system has two methods of frequency
selection. The first method is called direct tuning
(frequency agile). The second is a channelized opera-
tion in which desired operating frequencies are pre-
set, stored and referenced to a channel number.

a.
Description. The HF command set (fig. 3-7)
provides long-range voice communications within
the frequency range of 2.0 to 29.99 MHz and
employs either standard amplitude modulation
(AM), lower sideband (LSB), or upper sideband
(USB) modulation. The distance range of the set is
approximately 2,500 miles and varies with atmo-
spheric conditions. With the capability to preset and
store 99 frequencies for selection during flight, the
system also allows for selection of other frequencies
manually (direct tuning), or reprogramming of any
preset frequency. The system will automatically
match the antenna by keying the microphone. Power
to the system is routed through a 25 ampere circuit
breaker placarded HF PWR. The receiving portion
of the system is protected by a 5 ampere circuit
breaker placarded HF REC. Both circuit breakers
are located on the overhead circuit breaker panel.
The program mode must be used for set-
ting or changing any of the 99 preset fre-
quencies. Each of the 99 channels may be
preset to receive and transmit on separate
frequencies (semi-duplex), receive only, or
transmit and receive on the same fre-
quency (simplex). The operating mode
(LSB,USB or AM) must be the same for
both receive and transmit and can also be
preset.
(8.) Frequency/channel selector. This
selector consists of two concentric knobs that con-
trol the channel and frequency digits, plus the lateral
position of the cursor.
(a.) Frequency control. The outer
knob becomes a cursor (flashing digit) control with
the FREQ/CHAN switch in the FREQ position. The
flashing digit is then increased/decreased with the
inner knob.
(b.)
Channel control. The outer knob
is not functional when the FREQ/CHAN switch is
in the CHAN position. The inner knob will provide
