SEA 222 OPERATOR’S MANUAL 1S0W HF/SSB Radiolelephone‘The “brain’ of the SEA 222 is divided into Iwo parts 1, 258 factory programmed frequency paits selectable by Channel nurnar trom EPROM memory. 100 channels of “scratchpad’ memory for ron! panel programming and recall (note: 10 of these channels are “EMERGENCY” channels). 2 ‘When operating your SEA 222 please note: 1. Any two-digit keystroke followed by “ENT wil recall user. programmed channels 10-89. 2. Any 3 or 4-digit keystroke followed by “ENT” recalls factory programmed channels.FRONT PANEL CONTROLS: DISPLAY: ‘The eight-digit alphanumeric display provides ine ‘operator with frequency and channel data, 4x4KEYPAD: 16 keys allow the operator lo communicate with the ‘computer which contials radio functions. For simple ‘operation, an “operator friendly” soltware package is used in conjunction with the display, All ofthe keys are listed below. ENT Enters previously keyed data into the computer. NUMBER KEYS — Keys numbered 0 through 9 enter required umerical data into the computer. AI¥ (ARROWS) These keys permit receiver tuning up or down in 100 Hz steps CHIFR Allows the operates to display either channel number or tha frequency of operation. Example: pressing this key whan the display reads "CHAN 801” causes the display to Indicate the operating receive frequency assigned to ‘channel nuimber 801 (8719 KHz). sol. Activates or deactivates the voice operated squelch system. When the squelch is activated, the most signii- cant digit in the display wit contain the letter “O”. EMER Allows instant recall of programmed emergency chan nels. TUNING RANGE: ‘SEA 222 transmit tuning range is trom 1700 KHz to 22999.9 KHz, ‘The receiver tuning range is from S00 KHz to 24999.9 KHz,PUTTING YOUR SEA 222 IN THE OPERATING MODE: ‘Turn the volume ON/OFF kncb on. The radio will go through a sal test procedure, where the dispiay will show “TEST 1°, "TEST 2°, followed by *2182.0" To comply with FCC standards, ater three minutes the radio is ready 10 operate on 2182.0 KHz, TO DIM THE DISPLAY: Press any single digit followed by “ENT” ('0" being off and "9" being bright) Example: °9", “ENT” (brightest display); “0°, "ENT" (extinguishes display), Restore cisplay to maximum brightness by toucting any key when the display is extinguished, TURNING THE AUDIO FEEDBACK OFF/ON: To tur off the beep, enter any even digit and the "ENT key. Example: Press "6", “ENT” To tur the beep back on, enter any odd digit and the “ENT” key. Example: Press °7", “ENT TO SELECT CHANNELS OR FREQUENCIES STORED IN THE FACTORY PROGRAMMED MEMORY OF THE SEA 222, FOLLOW THESE STEPS: ‘The factory programmed frequencies are listed on page 7 of this booklet, Access to these frequencies is explained on pages 2 through 5.To select a channel by number, press the desired three or four digh channel number, then “ENT Example: Press "4", °0", "3", "ENT". The display will ead "CHAN 403" and the radio will be set to operate on channel 403, TO DISPLAY THE FREQUENCY ASSIGNED TO A CHANNEL NUMBER: Press the "CHIFR” key while your desired channel number is di played. Example: Press “CHIFR" key while the display reads “CHAN 403° The display wi indicate the receive Irequancy of 4363. Pressing “CHIFR" again will revert he display back to “CHAN 403" TO PROGRAM THE SEA 222 SCRATCHPAD MEMORY: Press 8888888 (seven 8's). The display will read “PROGRAM”, then “BINH?”, The SEA 222 is now in the program mode. Press the desired wo-digit bin number, followed by "ENT Example: Press"t","0", "ENT", The display will read “TX FREQ" Enter the desired transmit requeney (press “ENT” if receive only ‘operation is desired) Example: Press "124292", “ENT”. The display will ead "ASA?" Press “ENT for normal A3J operation or "1", “ENT” for A3A opera: tion. Display will ead “RX FREQ" Press "ENT for simplex operation or your dasired receive frequency for duplex or receive only operation. Example: For duplex operation, enter "123486", “ENT”. This will center the frequency 12345.6 KHz into the receiver's frequency memory. Display will read “STORED”. The radio wil indicate when it is ready for programming the next bin location by showing “BIN#?” ‘on the display.NOTE: To program emergency channels, flow the previous steps, Using a single digit number (0-9) instead of a two-digit numbar when, prompted for “BINA?” TO REPROGRAM A CHANNEL: To overwrite already programmed information, enter the program mode by pressing "8888680" (seven 8's). Enter the desired two-cigi bin number, followed by “ENT. Example: Press "10" ENT The display wil ead “BINFULL" Press any numeric key Example: Press *1". The display wll ead “TX FREQ?’ Continua to program as explained in the section "TO PROGRAM THE SEA 222 SCRATCHPAD MEMORY". TO ERASE CHANNEL FREQUENCIES: Enter the program made and select the channel to be erased. The display will prompt °BINFULL". Press any numeric key. When the display prompts "TX FREQ?”, press “ENT. When the display prompls “RX FREQ”, press “ENT”. The frequency information ‘lored in that bin has been erased and the display will prompt “INE”, TO ENTER SCAN MODE: (Channels 10-19 are reserved for scanning and you can program up to 10 channels using the program mode. To activate, turn the radio off, hen on to set the antenna tuner in the neutral tuning mode (it may be necessary to reprogram the squelch for salistactory opera- Vion). To start scanning, press "CH/FR’, then “A”. Scanning stops on aotive channels and resumes when the channel becomes inactive, To step over an unwanted active channel, press “A”. To stop scan: ning, press “EMER” (stops on present channel).TO RECALL A FREQUENCY OR CHANNEL FROM SCRATCHPAD MEMORY: Enter the desired two-digit bin number, followed by “ENT” Example: Press “10°, “ENT” receive Irequency or “EMPT he display wil show the programmed Pressing the “CHIFR® key will switch the display to showing channel number Note: Radio is delivered from the factory with an unprogrammed scralchpad, TO ADJUST THE SQUELCH THRESHOLD: Enter the program mode by pressing "8888288" (seven 8's). The display will show "PROGRAM", then “BINH?” Press the “SOL” key. The display will ead “SO 0-97" (4 is the factory set threshold), Enter the desired squelch setting (“0" is off, is maximum). TO EXIT THE PROGRAM MODE: “The program mode can be exited by pressing “EMER” or, ifno entry is made for 10 seconds, the system will automaticaly exit the program mode. The display will ead the last frequency programmed (0r“2182.0" if no frequency was previously programmed. Pressing CCH/FR will prompt the digplay to show the channel number, TO ENTER A RECEIVE ONLY FREQUENCY: Enter the desired five or six digit frequency between 500.0 and 2400.0, followed by “ENT” Example: Press "100000", “ENT”. The operating system will interpret this as a receive only frequency of 10,000.0 KHz. The transmitter will be inhibited in this mode.SIMPLEX FREQUENCY DIRECT ENTRY: Enter the desired frequency within the radio's tuning range. While pressing and holding the microphone key, press the "ENT" key. Your radio willbe set t0 operate on the entered frequency an a simplex basis, The a/¥ keys will work on a #/- 200 KHz basis only. TO SELECT AN EMERGENCY CHANNEL: Press any single digit, then “EMER” Example: Press “0", "EMER". The cisplay will read "2182.0", Up to 10 emergency trequencies may be stored using channels 0-9. Channel 0is factory programmed as 2182.0 KH2, OPERATING OPTIONAL FEATURES: OPERATING NECODE SCAN-STOP. To configure the SEA 222NC for Necode scan, enter the program mode by pressing 8888888 (seven B's) and enter up to four desired ‘scan frequencies in scratchpad channels 91-94, Exit he program mode. To enter the Necode scan routine, press “9 "9" "ENT". The display will read “NECODE” for approximately two seconds before the radio begins scanning ‘The frequencies loaded into the Necode scan channels will continue to be seanned until 1a. The Necode equipment decodes a response. This will cause the scan cycle to be stopped, the receiver audio to be unsquelched, and the transmitter to respond with the acknowledge signal. », The operator prasses any key to exit he Necode scan mode. ¢ The SEA 222 receives a PTT input and enters the transmit mode.OPERATING IN C.W. MODE When the C.W. option is installed in the SEA 222 (involving the installation of a Morse key}, operation involves entry of a C.W. frequency. The radio automatically enters the C.W. mode, allowing CW. keying.
