1. Summary
To Correspond to the ETSI update(EN 300 338-1 & -2: from Ver.1.31 to Ver.1.4.1), we have
modified the software of the JSS-2xxx series as follows.

2. Modified software version

WKR Modem （CMJ-2250）: (Old) 4.00 / 4.02 → (New) 4.01 / 4.08

Controller （NCM-2150）: (Old) 6.00 / 6.15 → (New) 6.01 / 6.19

3. Modified content
3.1 Modified list
The difference between V.1.3.1and V.1.4.1 is the following list.

Standard Clause No. and Title Reference No. in this

document
EN 300 338-1 9.3 Entry of position information 3.2.1 -1) -2) -3)
EN 300 338-2 6.3-n) Standby 3.2.2 -1)
6.5.7 Automated tuning (Receiving distress automated procedure) 3.3.2 -2)
6.7.6 Automated tuning (Receiving non-distress automated procedure) 3.3.2 -2)

3.2 Details of Modification

3.2.1 Entry of position information（EN 300 338 -1 clause 9.3）
1) Selecting the position source manually or automatically
Added the function so that operator can select position source automatically or manually
by using the following menu as shown on the Fig.1.

Auto：
Priority1：GPS
Prioritr2：GLONASS
Priority3：Galileo
Priority4：Other
Manual：Operator can set the
priority.
Fig.1
 JD19725A ( 2 / 3 )

2) Setting the priority of position sources

Added the menu to set the priority order of position sources, because the MF/HF radio
equipment can receive position information from several position sources
simultaneously. (see Fig.2).

Set the select source to the Manual

Priority1~3 : Operator can set from
GPS／GLONASS／Galileo

※Priority4 : Fixed to Other

Fig.2

3) New setting menu to display the position source and quality information.
Added the menu to select Normal or Quality on the screen as shown on Fig.3 for
displaying the position source information. When the Quality is selected the quality
information will be indicated as shown on Fig.4.

Normal：Does not display quality

information (default setting)

Quality：Display the quality information

2) Operation when Auto FREQ change setting is OFF

（EN300 338-2 6.5.7 Automated tuning, 6.7.6 Automated tuning）
When a DSC call is received when Auto FREQ change is set to OFF radio equipment
remains on the current frequency and will display a pop-up screen prompting to accept
the frequency change. Unless accepted manually, the frequency will not change by a
DSC calls. (The following Fig.6 shows an example of distress call reception.)

Accept：Change the work frequency
