(3) Retrieve the hopset from permanent memory into holding memory.
Press the H.Ld and 1 buttons. This will transfer a copy of the hopset you
have in permanent memory into holding memory where it may be transmitted to
net members by ERF.
(4) Establish communications with the net.
Calls may be answered in
alpha/numeric order or as directed by local SOP.
(a) NET C/S THIS IS NCS C/S OVER
NCS C/S THIS IS 1ST NM C/S OVER
NCS C/S THIS IS 2ND NM C/S OVER
NCS C/S THIS IS 3RD NM C/S OVER
NET C/S THIS IS NCS C/S STANDBY FOR ERF
STORE IN 1 AND MEET ME ON 1 OUT
(5) Press the SEND/OFST button. Wait 10 seconds and press it again,
wait 10 seconds and press SEND/OFST a third time.
NOTE
The purpose of sending the ERF three times is to
ensure all net members receive it, this is of course
not foolproof.
If the net member is not properly
prepared to receive the ERF it will not go through.
This procedure will however give the net member radio
operator time to realize the ERF was not received and
to readjust the equipment. This procedure can also be
helpful when you are communicating at long distances
or when there is interference due to atmospheric
conditions or EW.
(6) Set the CHAN switch
to

FCTN
to
SQ
