Tunable antennas like the Tactical Whip antenna (Codan Part Number: 15-00473) and Tactical Long Wire (Codan Part Number: 15-00476) have a quick connect/release adaptor that connects to the antenna port (J1), the quick connect/release adaptor activates the internal tuner on the radio. Note: If the Menu > User Data > Peripherals > Antenna Type is not set to Auto Detect, the antenna adaptor will not automatically activate the internal tuner. Once you have connected your antenna, it is recommended that you run a Channel Tune Test

(page 12) to ensure that standing wave ratio (SWR) values are acceptable. This test is recommended for any antenna used, including supported broadband antennas. Note: The accessory pass-through located at the top of the Codan backpack allows the antenna cable or antenna whip to remain connected while the backpack is closed. Sentry-H 6110-MP Operator Guide Page 9 Testing your radio before deployment Testing your radio before deployment Once assembled, the radio should be tested to ensure that everything is working correctly. The following tests should be run before the radio is deployed. Testing involves:

running a diagnostic self-test; and measuring the standing wave ratio (SWR) of your channels; and carrying out station-to-station on-air testing. Running a Self Test The Self Test allows the radio to run through a series of checks to ensure that the radio is operating. The CP LCD and CP Keys tests require your input in order to complete. Note: The self test will only test the control point that it was run from. If you have a 2320 handset connected to your radio, you should run the self test on both the front panel as well as the 2320 handset. Note: You can press PTT at any time to abort the self-test. 1. Switch on the Radio (page 15). 2. Press the key. 3. Select Self Test Screen from the Function Select screen. 4. Press

(Start). Page 10 Sentry-H 6110-MP Operator Guide Testing your radio before deployment The radio will now run through all of the self tests listed on the Self Tests screen. As each test is completed, the test result will appear on the screen. Passed Failed Manual

The CP LCD test checks for any screen errors by displaying the colour and tone states of the screen, the screen displays White, Black, Red, Green and Blue in order. Press any key on the keypad to progress through this test. 6. The CP Keys test checks that key presses are being registered and that keys pressed to match the correct input received by the radio. Test each key on the keypad and confirm that the corresponding key displays on the screen. Leave the key last as it will end the test. this test. Note: The key will not display on the screen when pressed during Note: The PTT button is not included in this test, pressing PTT will abort all tests. 7. Once the tests have completed, a summary report will display the results. Review any failed test results and address them before deployment. Sentry-H 6110-MP Operator Guide Page 11 Testing your radio before deployment Measuring the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) of your channels The 6110-MP radio measures the forward and reflected power between the radio and the antenna. The measured power ratio is called the Standing Wave Ratio or SWR. To ensure correct installation, the power and SWR assessment should be performed with the radio with any antenna you intend on using when deployed. SWR Results can vary based on several circumstances, including the characteristics of the antenna, the quality of the connection to ground, the frequency used, and the proximity of the antenna to other objects. The table below shows the communication quality you are likely to achieve with a given SWR value. SWR Measurement Icon Description Less than 3.0 Good Between 3.0 and 5.0 Poor Greater than 5.0 Unlikely to be able to communicate on this channel Tuning Scanned Channels To tune your currently scanned channels:

1. Hold the key for 2 seconds. 2. Press the key to start tuning. As each channel is tested, it will display an SWR value for each channel. An icon will appear that indicates if SWR value is at an acceptable level for transmission on the channel. 3. Review each channel for a good SWR reading, address any poor SWR readings before deployment. Page 12 Sentry-H 6110-MP Operator Guide Testing your radio before deployment Tuning a channel or frequency Individual channels and frequencies can also be tested for their SWR value. To tune a single channel or frequency:

1. Select the channel or frequency you want to test from the Channel or Scratch Mode on the Operational screen (page 19). 2. Press the key. 3. Press the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button on the H-250 or 2320 handset (page 23). 4. Check the SWR value and address any problems before deployment. Sentry-H 6110-MP Operator Guide Page 13 Testing your radio before deployment On-air testing On-air testing gives a better indication of antenna operation, particularly if the operator is familiar with the signal strengths usually received within a network. The Channel Test call (page 39) can be used to identify the best channel between two stations. A test call between two closely positioned stations should return call quality results close to 100%. The Channel Test call type can be made as a 2G or 3G ALE Point-to-Point Call (page 43) or as a Selcall call (page 49) As well as testing signal quality, making a Selective call (page 39) to other stations in your network will allow you to test other features of your radio like Digital Voice, Encryption and Frequency Hopping. All of which should be tested before deploying your radio into the field. Speak to your HF Network Administrator to resolve any critical issues you are experiencing before deploying your radio into the field.

Page 28 Sentry-H 6110-MP Operator Guide Secure communications Secure communications Secure mode is a macro that toggles two optional features of the 6110-MP radio, digital voice and voice/data encryption. By default, the secure macro will:

activate and deactivate AES-256 encrypted digital voice and data; or if encryption is not available, activate and deactivate digital voice if available; or activate CES-128 encryption if available. Digital Voice When enabled on your radio, the Standard Digital Bundle (Codan Part Number: 15-10624) enables Digital Voice. Digital Voice overcomes the potential poor voice quality that comes as a result of atmospheric effects and interference from other equipment and transmissions. Digital Voice brings clarity to voice communications over HF by removing the background noise that is typical with an analogue signal. Check with your HF Network Administrator to find out if Digital Voice is enabled on your radio. Encryption When enabled on your radio, encryption allows you to send secure digital voice and data over HF using a shared key. Two types of encryption are available, AES-256, which comes with the Advanced Digital Bundle (Codan Part Number: 15-10625) and CES-128 (Codan Part Number:

15-10642-000). Check with your HF Network Administrator to find out if encryption is enabled on your radio. Switching Secure on and off DV and encryption are toggled on and off using the same key. To toggle Secure on and off:

From the operational screen, press to toggle digital voice/encryption Selecting a secure key The selection of a secure key is only available when the AES-256 or CES-128 Sales Option has been enabled. Sentry-H 6110-MP Operator Guide Page 29 To select a secure key, from the channel screen:

Press to Activate the key change. Selecting the Digital Voice rate The Digital Voice rate or DV rate is the bitrate of vocoder used for the digital voice transmission. Higher vocoder rates will result in a more natural-sounding voice signal at the receiving station, but it requires better channel conditions than the lower rates. A lower vocoder rate will result in greater processing artefacts at the receiving station but can operate in very poor channel conditions. The range of vocoder rates are available to enable the operator to choose the best rate for best voice quality versus channel condition The digital voice rate is shown in status area 1 of the channel screen. The Digital Voice Rate can be changed during voice calls. To change the DV Rate, from the channel screen:

Sentry-H 6110-MP Operator Guide Page 47 Making a 2G or 3G ALE call Asynchronous calling 3G ALE HF networks rely on each station on the network having syncronised clocks. Time synchronisation is achieved by using the signals from GPS satellites. If a radio is unable to receive GPS signals, their clock will over time lose sync with the rest of the 3G ALE HF network and will not be able to receive 3G ALE calls. If the station you are calling is not answering your call, it may be that their radios clock is out of sync. An asynchronous call may allow you to make calls to a station that is in this operational state. Note: If you are unable to receive GPS signals on your radio, all calls that you make will be made using asynchronous calling. Note: If you are unable to get a GPS signal for an extended period, a TOD (Time of Day) Request call can be made to the TOD master station to syncronise your radio clock. To make an asynchronous call:

1. Press the key. 2. Press

, then select Async. 3. Select a call type using the and keys. 4. Enter the address of the station you are calling. 5. Press the key. 6. Enter a text message or select a menu item if prompted. 7.

all connectors are dry and free from dirt all connections are sound the battery pack is connected to the radio and has some charge the selected antenna is appropriate for the distance over which you want to communicate the antenna is deployed correctly, oriented in a suitable direction, and connected to the radio the grounding system is adequate as per instructions provided with the antenna the antenna type on the channel screen matches the type of antenna you are using If required, restart your radio to invoke self-testing. The self-test checks the memory, hardware, LCD and keys. If a serious fault is reported, contact your HF Network Administrator. Below is a table with some general tips on troubleshooting your radio. Problem Solution The sound from the front panel speaker is muffled Communications are not clear Drain any moisture from the front panel of the radio by turning it front panel down. Try another channel. Press PTT. If you are using a whip or long wire antenna, go to the menu screen, then select User Data > Peripherals > Antenna Type, check that the antenna selection icon is set to Auto Detect or Always Tune. If you are communicating over a short distance, try laying the whip horizontally for near vertical incident skywave operation. If you are communicating over a long distance, try selecting an antenna

(page 8) with better performance for the distance you are trying to transmit. I get an RF burn while transmitting The radio is not adequately earthed. Attach an earth lead or counterpoise as per the instructions provided with the antenna. Page 56 Sentry-H 6110-MP Operator Guide Troubleshooting Problem Solution GPS is not working The 3G ALE link works in one direction only You can hear the 3G ALE call transmission, but your radio does not respond Ensure that the front panel of the radio, and hence the GPS antenna, is facing the sky so that it can receive signals from satellites. Alternatively, connect a GPS antenna to the GPS port (J4) and place the antenna so that it is facing the sky. The tune time is not set to the same value in all radios, or it is not set to the recommended time for the tuner. Check that the link protection mode, the network address, and the link protection key are set to the same corresponding value in all radios. Called station does not reply Try calling the station asynchronously (page 48) if using the 3G ALE network. Tuning errors are received while using 3G ALE Retune all of the channels in the 3G ALE scanning network (page 12). Avoid using any channels that have poor or failed SNR values. Digital voice is not clear or sounds unnatural Try selecting a lower digital voice rate (page 30), if you are using encryption, make sure you have matching secure keys (page 29) with the station you are communicating with. Error messages The table below contains several error messages that may be displayed by the radio as well as the steps needed to resolve them.
