They comprise of separate modules all housed within one 2RU equipment cabinet. The receiver, the transmitter, and the PA Unit are each enclosed within their own diecast housing, that are then directly mounted on the large upper heat-sink. A Processor controlled interface module controls the channel selection, LCD Display, timers, interfaces, and signalling features. Models are available for all FM commercial and military frequency bands from 30 MHz to 520 MHz, with channel selectable 12.5, 20, 25, or 30KHz channel spacing arrangements. The RF Power Output is 1 - 50 Watts on a continuous duty basis. The CTCSS module supports all EIA tones. All tones and different encode and decode tones can be set on a per channel basis during radio programming. The KG510 includes 5 tone Selective Calling encoder/decoder with non-predictive decoder, as well as a DTMF encoder, and voice encryption. It supports normal all channel scanning and programmed channel scanning for base use. The KG510 is fitted with a large full dot matrix LCD that is used to display the Channel Numbers & Names, frequency & tone programmed information, and signalling information. All user interface keys and knobs are conveniently located on the front of the radio. All user entered functions are easily activated in a logical manner via the keypad. The KG510 is supplied with an "N" Type connector for the transmitter, and a TNC Connector for the Receiver to allow easy connection to the diplexer or feeder cables. The rear panel includes a 9 way D sub connector for fitment of an external shared tone panel. Also included is a 25 way D sub connector that enables external interface to other radios or control equipment. 128194 Page #4 of 26 Pages 11 December, 2000 KYODO KG510 OPERATORS MANUAL 2.3 Standard Inclusions The KG510 transceiver is supplied complete with the following items:

The KG510 must be programmed before it will operate correctly. This is best done by the equipment supplier or a competent radio tradesman. They will require the Kyodo 51BS programming software to do this correctly. It is important that the KG510 be correctly installed at its working location. It is recommended that this be done by a competent radio tradesman. As a minimum, it is necessary to:

Connect the DC Input power lead to a suitable 13.8 Volt Regulated DC Power supply that has sufficient capacity. (Ensure that the DC Polarity is correct). Connect the two antenna connectors to suitable antennas. (Ensure that the VSWR of the antennas is correct). Insert the Kyodo KD561 Microphone into the microphone connector on the front panel. 4.2 Basic Operation 4.2.1 4.2.2 4.2.3 4.2.4 4.2.5 4.2.6 Switch On Switch the KG510 "ON" by pressing the knob (12) and then check that the LED indicator (13) is illuminated. Adjust the Volume Setting Rotate the Volume Knob (10) clockwise (from the fully counterclockwise position) until the audio level from the speaker is suitable. Adjust the Squelch Setting Rotate the Squelch Knob clockwise (from the fully counter clockwise position) slowly until the background noise can no longer be heard. It is wise to slightly rotate the knob further in the clockwise direction (so that variations in the background noise level do not "break" the squelch setting and cause annoying squelch noises to be heard from the speaker). Select the Channel Select the required channel by pressing the [SHIFT] key followed by the channel number keys within two seconds. E.g. [SHIFT] + [0] + [1] to select channel #1. The LCD Display should now display CH01 and (if programmed with a channel label) the channel name:

"CH01 Kyodo-co". Receiving You should now be able to hear any radio traffic that occurs on channel #1 on the KG510. It may be necessary to further slightly adjust the Volume setting to suit your listening requirements. Transmitting Depending on the legal requirements in your country, and the operating requirements within your organisation, it may be necessary to announce your Call Sign, and will probably be necessary to announce the Call Sign of the party you are calling at the start of your transmission. When transmitting, it is necessary to hold the microphone about 75mm (3") from your mouth and speak clearly into the grill of the microphone. It is also necessary to press and hold the Press To Talk (PTT) bar on the side of the microphone depressed while speaking into the microphone. 128194 Page #8 of 26 Pages 11 December, 2000 KYODO KG510 OPERATORS MANUAL 4.3 Front Panel Operation This section describes most signalling and other advanced features that are available on the KG510 Transceiver. The availability of some features is dependent on the programming of the transceiver. You may find it worthwhile to discuss these features in detail with your radio supplier to obtain a full understanding of their benefits. 4.3.1 Keypad Operation The Keypad is the interface between the user and the KG510 and is used to enable or disable various functions, and to enter the required data for signalling purposes.

[CH]+[9]+[0] will change the active channel to Channel 90 (provided Ch 90 has been programmed into the KG510. Used to place the KG510 into the "All-Scan" mode where the KG510 will scan all programmed channels. Pressing the [SCN] key again will cause the KG510 to exit from the "All-Scan" mode.

[MON]

Switches the KG510 between "Monitor ON" mode and "Monitor OFF" mode and is used to "Un-mute" the radio when using selective calling (depending on the programming of the KG510 transceiver). 128194 Page #9 of 26 Pages 11 December, 2000 KYODO KG510 OPERATORS MANUAL 4.3.2 Keypad Operation using the [SHIFT] Key Some of the KG510's features and how it operates can be changed by using the [SHIFT]

[SHIFT]+[CH] Will start or stop the display of the TX and RX bar graphs in the LCD display.

[SHIFT]+[SCN] Will place the KG510 in the Program Scan mode or exit from the Program Scan mode.

[SHIFT]+[MON] Invalid Key. 128194 Page #10 of 26 Pages 11 December, 2000 KYODO KG510 OPERATORS MANUAL 4.3.3 Changing Channels To change to another channel, simply press the [CH] key followed by the number of the required channel within two seconds. e.g. To select Channel # 8, press [CH] [0] [8]

To select Channel # 99, press [CH] [9] [9]

Note that it is always necessary to enter two digits for the Channel Number. The channel # location displayed in the LCD will become blank as soon as the [CH] key is pressed, and the cursor will blink at the location of the channel number, and display the new numbers as they are entered. It is also possible to change channels by using the [A] and [B] keys instead of entering the channel numbers. Pressing the [A] key will advance the channel to the next higher programmed channel, while pressing [B] will advance the channel to the next lower programmed channel. Note that this action will ignore channels that have not been programmed into the KG510. Accordingly, the LCD display may appear to advance more than one channel if the missed channel is not programmed into the KG510. 4.4 Signalling The KG510 includes some very sophisticated signalling capabilities. We suggest that you have your radio supplier conduct some training on the use of these capabilities prior to using them. While it is possible to use these signalling capabilities in both repeater mode, and in base station mode, many will only be useful in practice when the KG510 is used in base station configuration. The KG510 supports the 5-Tone sequential, and/or the DTMF, and the Single Tone signalling formats. The required signalling format(s) must be enabled when the KG510 is programmed. 4.4.1 5-Tone Signalling 4.4.1.1 Available Tones 5-Tone signalling is commonly referred to as Selective Calling (or Selcall) and usually comprises of a series of 5 tones sequentially transmitted or received in accordance with certain international standards. It is possible to use longer sequences to enhance the signalling capabilities and to provide further functions. Accordingly, the KG510 will encode up to sixteen (16) tones and decode up to eight (8) tones. These tones can be any of the following:

[0] - [9], and [A] - [D]

The most recently entered tone can be recalled and deleted by pressing the [

repeatedly.

] key 4.4.1.2 Entering a 5-Tone Encode Sequence When switched "ON", the KG510 carries out its self-test routine, and then waits ready to accept 5-Tone encode numbers. Accordingly, it is only necessary to enter the required 5-

Tone digits directly using the keypad, and then pressing the [#] key to transmit the 5-Tone sequence. (Up to sixteen digits can be entered). If it is necessary to enter the "R" number sequence to activate the repeater, the [SHIFT] key must be pressed before pressing the [#] key. If a 5-Tone number is NOT displayed in the LCD, and the [#] key is pressed, then the KG510 will recall the most recent 5-Tone number and transmit it. 128194 Page #11 of 26 Pages 11 December, 2000 KYODO KG510 OPERATORS MANUAL 4.4.1.3 Recalling the last encode sequence

] will recall the most recent 5-Tone encode sequence and display the Pressing the [

sequence in the LCD display. Further presses of the [

] key will delete the last digit of the sequence until all digits are deleted. In practice users will usually delete the last one or two digits before entering the new digits. 4.4.2 DTMF Signalling 4.4.2.1 Available Tones The following DTMF tones can be used:

[0] - [9], [A] - [D], [

], and [#]

NOTE: Tone [B] is NOT available if the "Attach Decode No" field in the DTMF Encode Menu has been set to "ON". Up to sixteen (16) DTMF digits can be encoded in one calling sequence. 4.4.2.2 DTMF Tone Entry There are two methods of entering DTMF tones. The specific tone encoding format is selected during the programming of the KG510 transceiver in the <Main Menu><Encode Set><DTMF Encode><Attach Decode No.> field. 4.4.2.2.1 Attach Decode No. "OFF" format Pressing the PTT lever first automatically selects the DTMF encoding format and allows direct entry of DTMF tones. Hold the PTT lever on the microphone depressed while pressing the required DTMF tones. The tones will be transmitted as the keys are being pressed. 4.4.2.2.2 Attach Decode No. "ON" format Attach Decode No. "ON" automatically encodes the users DTMF decode number after the encode number. This can be used for ANI purposes. Enter the required DTMF tones (up to sixteen tones except "B" tone) and then transmit the total tone sequence (including the users decode number) by pressing the [#] key. All tones will be transmitted in one continuous sequence after pressing the [#] key. Pressing the [

Always confirm that the LCD is clear before proceeding as it may take up to 5 seconds for the tones to be sent. e.g. Assume that your decode number is 12345, and that you wish to encode number 12346. You will input 12346, and then press the [#] key. The KG510 will encode 12346B12345. The called radio will display 12345 in their LCD indicating the calling party's number is 12345.

] key will delete the last entered number. NOTE: The "B" tone is used as the delimiter in this encoding format and therefore CANNOT be used as a DTMF tone. Pressing the [SHIFT] key and then the [#] will encode ONLY the encode number (and not the decode number). 128194 Page #12 of 26 Pages 11 December, 2000 KYODO KG510 OPERATORS MANUAL 4.4.2.3 Redialling with DTMF If during the programming of the KG510, the <Attach Decode No> field has been set to

"OFF", the redialling function operates as follows:

Press [SHIFT], then press [#] and the KG510 will redial the last encoded DTMF number. If during the programming of the KG510, the <Attach Decode No> field has been set to

"ON", the redialling function operates as follows:

Press [#] and the KG510 will redial the last encoded DTMF number with the KG510's programmed decode number. Press [SHIFT], and then press [#] and the KG510 will redial the last encoded DTMF number without the KG510's programmed decode number. 4.4.2.4 Restoring the last DTMF number to the LCD Display It is possible to restore the last encoded DTMF number to the LCD display, provided the

<Attach Decode No> field has been set to "ON" during the programming of the KG510 transceiver. Confirm that the LCD is NOT displaying any DTMF numbers, then press [

encoded DTMF number will be displayed in the LCD display. It is possible to edit this number at this time by pressing the [

number) or by pressing the required keys to add additional numbers.

] key (which will erase the last

] and the last 4.4.2.5 Encoding DTMF numbers with the 5-Tone system enabled It is possible to enter DTMF numbers even with the 5-Tone system enabled. This function must be enabled during the programming of the KG510 by setting the <DTMF Encode> field in the <5Tone Encode Menu> to "ENABLE". To enter a DTMF number (with 5-Tone signalling enabled), the user must press the PTT lever while entering the first DTMF number. Second and subsequent numbers do NOT require the PTT lever to be pressed provided all numbers are entered within a few seconds

(before the display reverts to 5-Tone mode and displays "5TON" in the LCD display). 4.4.3 Single Tone Encoding The KG510 has the ability to encode one of six single tone frequencies for 1, 2, 3, or 4 seconds. This function is enabled during programming of the KG510 by selecting the <Single Tone ON> field in the <Encode Menu> and setting the encode period. Press the [SHIFT] and the [4] keys to put the KG510 into Single Tone Encoding mode. "S1"

and the tone frequency ("xxxxHz") will be displayed in the tone area of the LCD display for about 4 seconds until the KG510 reverts back to the normal signalling mode. While the KG510 is in Single Tone Encoding mode, it is possible to advance to the next tone frequency by pressing the [A] key, or to return to the previous tone by pressing the [B] key. Pressing the [#] key will encode the displayed tone (for the programmed time period) and automatically exits the Single Tone Encoding mode and returns the KG510 to the normal signalling mode. 128194 Page #13 of 26 Pages 11 December, 2000 KYODO KG510 OPERATORS MANUAL 4.4.4 KILL Signalling The KG510 has the ability to transmit a specially coded signalling sequence that will disable

("KILL") another radio. This feature is particularly useful when transceivers become misplaced, are stolen, if they are used in an incorrect manner, or if they are used for the wrong purposes. To prevent accidental or mischievous "KILLING" of radios, several security features are in place. Firstly, the KG510 must have this function enabled during programming. Secondly, the user must know the required password and enter it correctly into the KG510, and, Thirdly, the user must know the required "KILL" number (of the radio to be "KILLED", and enter it correctly into the KG510. The "KILL" password has four numerical digits. [0] to [9]. With 5-Tone signalling systems, the "KILL" number for a particular radio comprises of the radio's decode number + D + the radio's KILL number. With DTMF signalling systems, the "KILL" number for a particular radio comprises of the radio's decode number + A + the radio's KILL number. In the case of DTMF signalling, both the decode number and the KILL number must have more than four digits. 4.4.4.1 Kill Signalling Operation Press [SHIFT] and the press [6] to place the KG510 into the KILL mode. The LCD display will indicate that the KG510 is in the KILL mode RX TX CH01 Kyodo-co Kill Pass --

Enter the required password by entering the correct four digit number. If the password has been correctly entered, the LCD display will show this message:

RX TX CH01 Kyodo-co Kill Pass OK Then enter the "KILL" data from the keyboard that comprises of the decode number + D +

the KILL number of the radio to be "KILLED". (In the case of DTMF signalling, it will be necessary to substitute the "A" tone instead of the "D" tone). Then press [#] to transmit the data. 128194 Page #14 of 26 Pages 11 December, 2000 KYODO KG510 OPERATORS MANUAL If the incorrect password has been entered, the LCD display will show the following message:

RX TX CH01 Kyodo-co Kill Pass NG If you enter the "KILL" data prior to entering the KILL password, and then press the [#] key, the LCD display will show the following message:

RX TX CH01 Kyodo-co Input Password If the incorrect password has been entered more than the allowed number of tries, then the KG510 becomes disabled and the following message is displayed in the LCD display:

Not Ready In such cases, it is necessary to return the KG510 to your radio supplier to have the KG510 repaired. 4.5 Scanning The KG510 is supplied with two scanning modes. These are All Channel Scan mode in which the KG510 will scan all channels that are programmed into the KG510, and the Program Channel Scan mode in which the KG510 will scan only the channels that have been designated during the programming of the KG510 transceiver. Furthermore, one HIGH priority, and one LOW priority scan channel can be set for each scan mode during the programming of the radio. 4.5.1 All Channel Scan Operation Pressing the [SCAN] key places the KG510 into All Channel Scan mode and the Scan mode symbol " " is displayed in the LCD display. Also the LCD will display "All Scan Mode-in" for two seconds as shown below:
