GENERAL INFORMATION
The Standard Communications Corp. (SCC) model HX500S is an all solid-state,
VHF-FM handheld transceiver designed for use in the frequency range of
156.025 to 157.425 MHz. It requires 7.5 VDC input power for operation,
supplied internally by a battery peck, and develops a switchable RF power
output of 5 watts or 1 watt. Designed for up to six channel operation (crystal
controlled), the HX5005 is brown in color, measures 6 3/4 H by 2 1/2 W by 1 1/2
D in., and weighs 1 1/4 lb.
The HX500S features include an on-off/volume control, squelch control, channel
selector, high-low power switch, push-to-talk switch, and a transmit indicator light
which will inform the user as to when the battery is low. It comes already
programmed for channels 6 (Intership Safety) and 16 (Distress, Safety, and
Calling), and offers four more channels which may be programmed to any
frequency of the user's choice, within the general frequency range of the
transceiver.
Other features include an antenna receptacle and an external speaker-
microphone. Battery-charge contacts are located at the bottom of the unit to
allow for recharging of the battery whether it is still attached to the unit or it is
separate. A battery-lock button provides for easy removal of the battery pack.
The purpose of the Owner's Operating Manual is to familiarize you with the
controls and connections, operation, and any licensing requirements that you
should know and fulfill prior to the operation of your new transceiver. We
strongly recommend that you read this manual carefully before using your
transceiver.
