Operating the Radio ……....Or this “Frequency” readout. Page Up or NEXT
10
Operating the Radio Display Switch to the left shows the ID Display Switch to the center is the Receive Display. This is the actual receive frequency for this “channel” The DISPLAY switch lets you choose the display mode. Page Up or NEXT Page Up or NEXT
11
Operating the Radio You recall from ROA training that a “channel” is comprised of 1) a radio frequency, and 2) a subaudible note, or tone, which rides underneath the voice audio and opens up other radios’ receivers The tone for this channel is 100 cycles, or Hertz See the number to the right of the RF frequency. This is the subaudiable tone, or CTCSS tone which is programmed for that channel Switch to the right is the Transmit Display. The TX and RX frequency will most often be the same in airborne communications Exceptions will arise. Page Up or NEXT Page Up or NEXT
12
Operating the Radio This screen shows everything one really needs to know while in the air: The Channel, as known on our other VHF-FM radios …this ID Display condition This is your preferred, typical view screen. …this ID Display condition In the interest of safety and confusion avoidance, it’s recommended that the radio is left in…… …this ID Display condition The normal use or tasking for that channel Page Up or NEXT Page Up or NEXT
13
Operating the Radio Getting Started CTCSS Tone On or Off
Power display - HI = 10 Watts, LO = 1 Watt HI Power would be the normal setting CTCSS Tone On or Off “ON” would be the normal setting Page Up or NEXT
14
Operating the Radio Notice that we didn’t specify the means for changing the variables such as tone, power, etc Once this radio is installed and programmed, it should just power up and operate “as is” Page Up or NEXT
15
Operating the Radio Part II, the Advanced User segment of this training series will cover the specifics of changing the options for tone, power, and other matters These functions need not be altered in any way, as long as the display reads as just specified Page Up or NEXT
16
Operating the Radio Here’s an overview of the other chief functions:
On/Off and Volume - Traditional function and purpose On/Off and Volume - Traditional function and purpose Squelch - Push in to hear the weakest of signals Squelch - Push in to hear the weakest of signals Channel - Pick the channel of operation desired Channel - Pick the channel of operation desired Page Up or NEXT

Operating the Radio “So, just what is this ‘Guard Channel’ feature, anyway?” Set the Guard Volume Control counterclockwise to it’s lowest setting for now Set the Guard Volume Control counterclockwise to it’s lowest setting for now Switch the Guard Channel Select to channel 1 or 2 depending upon the needs of your local Command Switch the Guard Channel Select to channel 1 or 2 depending upon the needs of your local Command Page Up or NEXT Page Up or NEXT
22
Imagine your radio is actually -- 2 radios in one!
Here’s how to use the Guard feature: You could work one channel while listening to another You could go “off frequency” with a ground team, and still catch a call on your primary channel from Mission Base (or from another air crew or ground team) National F-1 and F-4 are default programmed as GD1& GD2 Use the Guard Select switch to choose which guard channel to monitor - the repeater or the air-ground frequency Use the Guard Select switch to choose which guard channel to monitor - the repeater or the air-ground frequency Use the Guard Select switch to choose which guard channel to monitor - the repeater or the air-ground frequency You could be doing work with another agency on their channel, and still receive a CAP mission alert Leave the SCAN switch in NORMal mode for now You could answer these calls without switching the dial Set the Guard Volume to a desired level Page Up or NEXT Page Up or NEXT Page Up or NEXT Page Up or NEXT Page Up or NEXT
23
Choose your other operating channel with the CHANnel switch, in the common fashion for channel selection If you hear a call and the lamp immediately to the right of the regular on-off-volume knob lights up, then that was on the regular channel as indicated on your display Answer that call in the regular fashion, you don’t have to change or move anything on the radio to do so Page Up or NEXT Page Up or NEXT
24
Adjust the GD Volume if necessary for good audio
If you hear a call and the lamp just to the right of the Guard Channel (GD) knob lights up - then you would: If you hear a call and the lamp just to the right of the Guard Channel (GD) knob lights up - Adjust the GD Volume if necessary for good audio Change the SCAN/NORM switch to the bottom setting, which is labeled “GD TX” - Guard Transmit Change the SCAN/NORM switch to the bottom setting, which is labeled “GD TX” - Guard Transmit Change the SCAN/NORM switch to the bottom setting, which is labeled “GD TX” - Guard Transmit All transmissions from you will now go out over the Guard Channel you selected with the switch GD1/GD2 Page Up or NEXT Page Up or NEXT Page Up or NEXT
25
Once all Guard Channel traffic is cleared, you would -
It should be pointed out that Guard Channel/Regular Channel co-monitoring is no different than the way we use the aircraft aviation band comm radios… You can hear traffic on either one, but they both have their own volume and TX controls Once all Guard Channel traffic is cleared, you would - Revert back to normal operation by switching the SCAN/NORM switch back up to where it was before Adjust Main and Guard volumes, as necessary Simply set the NPX-138N’s two volume knobs as needed & answer either “radio” by means of the NORM - GD TX switch Continue normal operations Guard Volume has a preset minimum volume level Guard Volume has a preset minimum volume level Page Up or NEXT Page Up or NEXT Page Up or NEXT
26
Final Practical Review
Operating the Radio Final Practical Review … And that’s it !! So, Let’s review just once more on the important stuff: - You see this “HELP” screen, so you would do what in order to get past this screen and on to business? We know we need to see a channel display of one kind or the other, so we can use the radio. Page Up or NEXT Toggle the switch labeled “BRIGHTNESS”/”NEXT” NEXT for Answer
27
Final Practical Review
- You can display the Channel by Frequency or by it’s “name” or common usage. Choose this how? Page Up or NEXT Toggle the switch labeled “DISP”, for “Display” NEXT for Answer
28
Final Practical Review
We’re asked to go off to another channel to assist an outside agency on a mission or work a ground team How do we keep an ear out for Mission Base as well? Use the Guard switch, choose GD 2 for CAP-4, & you’ll hear calls on either frequency NEXT for Answer Page Up or NEXT
29
Final Practical Review
….and so you’re on your agency assist and you hear a call from another CAP airplane on GD 2, which you know is CAP’s Channel 4 Page Up or NEXT What’s the fastest, easiest way to answer them? This switch all the way down, and speak to them NEXT for Answer
30
Final Practical Review
Conclusion This is for timing Now that you’ve seen this, the radio owners manual should be reviewed -- while you’re sitting in front of the radio if possible There’s absolutely no substitute for hands-on field experience Try these basic steps while you’re on the ground, so that they become second-nature when you’re in the air That’s it!

NAT NPX138N VHF-FM Radio Part II
Advanced User Training on the use of Scanning, Priority, and Direct Frequency / Channel Editing DEWG CAP 9/30/00 DAFB Air Mobility Command Museum Dover, Delaware
33
This is the Advanced Training for use of the NPX-138 from Northern Airborne Technology
Specific assumptions are made that the student understands the purpose of certain VHF-FM specific matters [such as CTCSS tones], and is comfortable with prior instruction on general use as covered under Part I of this user training series It is assumed for the purposes of this advanced training that the operator/student has at least some experience with frequency agile radios Examples of such are aviation band comm radios or certain VHF-FM applications [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT Remember, this means you may press any key to continue

One makes display selections by means of 4 toggle switches.
Review One makes display selections by means of 4 toggle switches. Many radios will arrive with the default screen shown here. Your radio can be re-programmed to come on and go directly to the channel position of your choice. For now, let’s assume this is what you see…. Most references to adjustments will be with respect to one or more of these switches. [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT
36
We now see the normal operating screen
Review “NEXT” IF your radio does power up with this screen, simply move the “NEXT” {Brightness} toggle to the left or right We now see the normal operating screen [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT
37
X X X “And how, exactly, do I do that?”, you ask. Review
The EDIT switch is normally centered so that important settings don’t get messed up You can, however, make corrections to TONE, POWER, SIMPLEX/DUPLEX, SCAN & PRIORITY choices by this means You can, however, make corrections to TONE, POWER, SIMPLEX/DUPLEX, SCAN & PRIORITY choices by this means You can, however, make corrections to TONE, POWER, SIMPLEX/DUPLEX, SCAN & PRIORITY choices by this means You can, however, make corrections to TONE, POWER, SIMPLEX/DUPLEX, SCAN & PRIORITY choices by this means You can, however, make corrections to TONE, POWER, SIMPLEX/DUPLEX, SCAN & PRIORITY choices by this means You can, however, make corrections to TONE, POWER, SIMPLEX/DUPLEX, SCAN & PRIORITY choices by this means [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT
38
Setting Options The important mode selections are STEPPED through, one at a time, by moving the EDIT switch to the right -- to the STep position The important mode selections are STEPPED through, one at a time, by moving the EDIT switch to the right -- to the STep position [Page Up] or NEXT
39
Setting Options The important selections are STEPPED through, one at a time, by moving the EDIT switch to the right -- to the STep position The EDIT switch in this position changes the mode of these other two switches to NEXT and SELECT, as labeled below them The EDIT switch in this position changes the mode of these other two switches to NEXT and SELECT, as labeled below them The EDIT switch in this position changes the mode of these other two switches to NEXT and SELECT, as labeled below them The EDIT switch in this position changes the mode of these other two switches to NEXT and SELECT, as labeled below them [Page Up] or NEXT
40
Setting Options Toggling the switch labeled NEXT takes you through the different modes or settings which can be adjusted, such as Power, Tones, Scan, etc These settings are “global” - They affect all channels, not just the one displayed at the time [Page Up] or NEXT
41
The key is knowing what it is you want or need
Setting Options The SELECT toggle makes the desired change, such as (selection) On, (selection) Off, or setting High or Low, etc The key is knowing what it is you want or need [Page Up] or NEXT
42
And we know we can execute the change by toggling the SELECT switch.
Setting Options “SELECT” “NEXT” So we know now that we can change various parameters by running thru them one at a time with the NEXT switch So we know now that we can change various parameters by running thru them one at a time with the NEXT switch And we know we can execute the change by toggling the SELECT switch. And we know we can execute the change by toggling the SELECT switch. [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT
43
Setting Options The Transmit mode should be left in DUPLEX, so that repeater channels will work. Duplex channels use one frequency for transmit and another for receive The next variable in this sequence is the POWER OUTPUT with a choice of HI, which is 10 Watts of power (max allowed in CAP air service), or LO, which is 1 Watt The first variable which comes up is the Simplex/Duplex selection Channels meant to be “Simplex” , such as 1 thru 4, have been programmed with TX and RX the same so they will act as simplex channels just fine One usually thinks of Simplex operation as direct, radio-to-radio contact, while Duplex is most often associated with repeater use [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT
44
Setting Options The choices for the TONES setting are: ON, OFF, or TX ONLY. Leave “ON” for most general use The TONES selection is the next variable You recall from ROA training that a “channel” is comprised of 1) a radio frequency, and, 2) a sub-audible note, or tone, which rides underneath the voice audio and opens up other radios’ receivers IF you need to hear a channel without your receiver tone filter on, “TX ONLY” does this. Don’t ever set to “TONES=OFF”. This cuts TX tones as well & you’ll forget, leaving it unusable for future air crews. [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT
45
The next changeable option is the TONE DISPlay.
Setting Options The TONE DISPlay mode determines how that tone is labeled, for programming or reference purposes The next changeable option is the TONE DISPlay. In order to explain it’s significance, take a look at the main screen again, in this DISPlay mode Choices are the audio frequency itself, such as 100.0, or the EIA# such as “12”, or other nomenclatures used by the Motorola or Wulfsberg companies Assume you’re now in the RX Display mode [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT
46
Setting Options We refer to tone types in both simplex and repeater service by their frequency Hz, Hz, etc This will become important if you should need to install other users’ channels in the field [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT
47
Setting Options The next selectable options are the SCAN bank designator and the PRIORITY selector These two functions and their set-up are related, so we’ll cover them together in just a moment So, “TONE DISPlay” is simply a choice of ways to refer to the CTCSS tones you may need to enter in the field Let’s go back to the STep SELECTion we just left, showing the TONE DISP option and continue from there…...

Advanced User Training
OK, let’s cover Channel Scan and Priority Scanning is the process of allowing the radio to listen to many channels in a repeating sequence The receiver stops on a channel if it’s in use, so you can hear if there’s traffic of interest to you [Page Up] or NEXT
51
Advanced User Training
SC The display, in ID DISPlay mode, will show “SC“ to the right of the Channel Name if it’s on the Scan List If you choose to use the SCAN feature, first put your radio on the primary Channel you’re going to be working Then, move the SCAN/NORM switch upwards and the radio will begin scanning channels [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT
52
Advanced User Training
SC If the “home channel” becomes busy, the receiver will revert back there for you If a channel becomes a nuisance, toggle the CHANnel switch to “ - ” to make the radio ignore that channel This temporary bypass request is reset once you leave the SCAN mode, or if you power off the radio [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT
53
Advanced User Training
SC PI In addition to being on the normal Scan list , certain channels can be designated as Priority channels You’ll see a PI or P2 to the right of the Channel Name if this channel was programmed as a Priority channel If a Priority channel becomes active while you’re scanning, the radio will go to the priority channel [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT [Page Up] or NEXT
