The SG-2020 will switch between receive and transmit in less than
10 milli seconds and is well suited for this type of data operation.
7.4 MARINE
The SG-2020 is an ideal marine radio. Since it is not FCC type
approved for this operation, it should be used as an auxiliary hobby
radio. The low power requirements enable the unit to operate when
other equipment on board may not, (i.e. because of a power failure
or major accident at sea). In this situation it is perfectly legal to use
this radio for emergency transmission. Many marine radio nets
exist; the most popular frequency is 14.313 kHz and is run every-
day. As an addition to your regular marine electronic equipment,
the SG-2020 will give you hours of enjoyment and provide addi-
tional safety on your boat. Depending on your cruising area and
habits, we recommend you program into the memory channels
some popular ship to ship marine frequencies (simplex) and some
US Coast Guard high seas frequencies. Appendix A is provided for
popular ham net frequencies and marine frequencies.
7.5 AVIATION
The SG-2020 was also designed for aviation operation. It is not
FAA type approved for such use, and should be installed on a vol-
untary basis only. The SG-2020 fits the standard aviation panel
width which is under 6 1/4 inches. The units low power current
consumption will allow it to work when the rest of the electronic
gear in a small airplane may not. It is the perfect companion radio
to be operated in a single or double seated airplane from the jungles
of Brazil to Indonesia, and from Alaska to the icy Alps.
We recommended programming the preferred frequencies of the
operator for fast retrieval. The unit can also be locked so only these
channel frequencies are accessible to the operator. This is a practi-
cal way to insure that a casual operator calls on the proper frequen-
cy and mode settings.
