SC51 - Selcall/Telcall/GPS internal module
Add Selcall, Telcall and GPS position reporting
to almost any HF radio!
(use for Automatic Vehicle Location or Tracking with suitable software)
NOW WITH 10 STORED MEMORY CALLING FEATURE
The SC51 is a small module designed for installation
inside almost any HF radio to add the additional capabilities of
Selcall, Telcall and GPS position reporting. The SC51 requires a
microphone with a DTMF keypad to control it's functions locally or
can be configured so that pressing a push button will send an
emergency call.
The latest SC51 software version adds 10 memory locations for storing
those commonly used Selcall or Telcall numbers. Call a number by
pressing just three keys on the keypad! Pressing (for example)
3 # # will call the number (selcall or telcall) stored in memory
location 3. Numbers can be easily added, deleted or called.
With the SC51 installed in your mobiles you will
be able to carry out vehicle tracking and location using your existing
HF network. A base station radio that is capable of receiving the
GPS information is required. A suitable base radio is the Barrett
950 and a PC running the Internav software.
When connected to suitable radios the SC51 can also control channel scanning
and audio muting while providing outputs for driving alarm relays as well as
audio alarms.

* The SC51 can be Un-Killled by entering the Un-Kill Code on a DTMF keypad
microphone connected to the SC51. When Killed the SC51 will inhibit it's PTT
circuit while switching the Mute circuit on, thereby making the radio unable
to transmit or receive.
Note: the SC51 requires an external GPS receiver unit to obtain the position
data. The GPS data is extracted from the "RMC" sentence and the data
must be in NMEA-0183 format using either TTL or RS-232 signalling at 1200, 2400,
4800 or 9600 bits per second.
The SC51 is easily programmed with a PC or a laptop via the GPS data port. Simply
pressing the radio's PTT button while powering on will initiate the SC51 programming
mode (at 4800 bps serial data).
Once in programming mode the SC51 can be configured by using the freely available
programming software. Click HERE for a
screen shot. See the manual for more details.
All interfacing to the radio circuitry is through a 16 way ribbon (0.1in) cable
while the GPS interface is connected through a 10 way ribbon (0.1in) cable which
can be be taken directly to a 9 way D connector (ribbon cable type).
