    Sea 222 Operator's Manual

    I SEA 222 OPERATOR'S MANUAL Featuring a unique "softouch" keypad, the SEA 222 is as easy to operate as a microwave oven. Just follow the directions in this booklet. The "brain" of the SEA 222 is divided into two parts: 1. 290 factory programmed frequency pairs selectable by channel number from EPROM memory. 2. 100 channels of "scratch pad" memory for front panel programming and recall (Note: 10 of these channels are "EMERGENCY" channels). When operating your SEA 222 please note: 1. Any two-digit key stroke followed by "enter" will recall user-programmed channels 10-99; 2. Any 3 and 4-digit key stroke followed by "enter" recalls factory -pro­ grammed channels. - ---- - - A UNIT OF DATAMARINE INTERNATIONAL, INC. I ( ( FRONT PANEL CONTROLS: DISPLAY: The eight-digit alphanumeric display provides the operator with frequency and channel data. 4 x 4 KEYPAD 16 keys allow the operator to communicate with the computer which controls radio functions. For simple operation, an "operator friendly" software package is used in conjunction with the display. All of the keys are listed below. ENT Enters previously keyed data into the computer. Number Keys Keys numbered 0 through 9 enter required numerical data into the computer. (Arrows) These keypads permit receiver tuning up or down in 100 Hz ..... steps. CH/FR Allows the operator to display either channel number or the frequency of operation. Example: pressing this key when the display reads "CHAN 801" causes the display to indicate the receiver operating frequency 'assigned to channel number 801 (8718.9 KHz). SQL Activates or deactivates the voice operated squelch system.

In June 2011 the ECC, part of CEPT, published a Decision, ECC/DEC/ (11)03 (the ‘Decision’) on the harmonised use of frequencies for CB radio equipment. The Decision sought to harmonise the technical standards and usage conditions relating to the use of frequencies for CB radio equipment in CEPT administrations.

PUB DATE Dec 94 NOTE 29p.; Adapted from a paper submitted in partial fulfillment of class requirements for VTE 500, Contemporary Concepts in Vocational-Technical Education, Spring 1994, and published in the 1994 American Radio Relay League National Educational Workshop proceedings.

DESCRIPTORS *Communication (Thought Transfer); Educational Innovation; *Educational Radio; Educational' Technology; Elementary Secondary Education; Interdisciplinary Approach; Language Arts; Self Esteem; *Student Motivation; ''Teaching Methods; *Vocational Education IDENTIFIERS *Ham Radio ABSTRACT Amateur radio is a technology and activity that offers great potential when integrated into academic or vocational curricula. Programs with electrical, electronics, and electromechanical content can benefit from the use of amateur radio, and can also enhance language and communications skills. The biggest value of amateur radio may lie in its ability to enhance a student's motivation and self-esteem. In addition to its specific vocational and technical applications, amateur radio can assist in teaching basic skills and in reducing the isolation of students and teachers as it promotes interdisciplinary education and cultural awareness. Amateur radio is distinctly different from citizens band, as it is a noncommercial service. Ham operators do not need an electronics background, although technical knowledge and skills are helpful. Several examples of the educational use of amateur radio illustrate its potential for academic and vocational education.

Dress in layers of clothing, in case the weather changes. 2. Bring your medication, sunscreen, sunglasses, water bottle, etc. 3. Bring extra batteries for your radio. 4. Report your arrival in advance on the talk-in frequency, so you can be directed to convenient parking. 5. Bring a pen and small note pad to jot down information. 6. Speaker mikes and headsets are very helpful. Don’t use vox, as it can pick up crowd noise and tie up the frequency. 7. If you have an extra radio, bring it along in case another volunteer has none. 8. You’re part of a team, Net Control will answer your questions. 9. Have fun and feel good about helping your community. The Amateur’s Code The Radio Amateur is: CONSIDERATE...never knowingly operates in such a way as to lessen the pleasure of others.
