1.A System Overview

The KHF 950 HF/SSB Communication System is a solid state design with 150 watts (PEP) of output power, operating at 28 Vdc. Frequency of operation ranges between 2.0 and 29.9999 MHz with 100 Hz resolution. Systems with a KCU 951 Control Unit may set the upper frequency limit to 22.9999 MHz or 26.9999 MHz.

NOTE: Operations are limited to 25 MHz for aircraft installation by aeronautical mobile band frequency limits.

A configuration is called a “dual system” when two KHF 950 HF/SSB systems are installed in the same aircraft to share one antenna. Both systems may receive simultaneously, but only one system is chosen to transmit at any one time. Either a manual or an auto select transmit scheme determines which system is selected to transmit. In a manual select system, a switch in the cockpit is used to determine if “System 1” or “System 2” will be used for transmitting. In an auto select configuration, the first system (System 1 or System 2) to be keyed is selected to transmit, and transmission from the other system is inhibited until the first system has stopped transmitting. Interconnect drawings for both manual and automatic selection are provided in this manual.

Page 6Revision 2 23-20-03 Apr/2006

Page 33: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

In a dual system when one system is transmitting, receive on the other is disabled. The single antenna in a dual system can be tuned to only one frequency at any given time. If the two systems are tuned to different frequencies the strongest reception is realized on the primary system, which is tuned to the same frequency as the antenna. The primary system is defined as the selected system in manual configuration, or the system that was last used for transmission in auto-select configuration.

A dual system requires certain accessory equipment: KA 158 Bridging Amplifiers and KA 160 Dual Antenna Adapter or KA 162 Dual External Capacitor (if required). The function of the KA 160 Dual Antenna Adapter and KA 162 Dual External Capacitor is to connect the antenna to the active antenna coupler. The function of the two KA 158 Bridging Amplifiers are to divide and route the received signal from the active antenna coupler to both KTR 953 Receiver/Exciters.

NOTE: A dual installation using a KA 98 probe antenna, shunt, notch, or short grounded wire antenna requires the use of the KA 162 Dual External Capacitor instead of a KA 160 Dual Antenna Adapter.

When two independent HF systems employing two separate antennas are used on one aircraft, it is important to maximize separation between the antennas. A minimum of 6 ft. (2 m.) separation is recommended, and the antennas should be configured as orthogonally as possible.

The KCU 951 Control Unit or KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit with KA 594 Bus Adapter determines the frequency and mode of operation of the system, and displays that information to the pilot. A remote mounted KA 594 Bus Adapter is required for systems that employ a KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit.

Receiver and low level transmitter signals are located in the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter. Originally the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter employed an oven controlled oscillator, which required a short warm-up period to generate the frequency reference required for the synthesizer. The oven controlled oscillator has been replaced by a temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO), which provides an “instant on” frequency reference in current production models of the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter.

The KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler amplifies the excitation signal from the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter to 150 watts PEP, or 37 watts of carrier power in AM. The amplified signal is routed into the antenna coupler section of the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler which matches the various impedances of the antenna to the 50 ohms output of the transmitter. In receive function, signals from the antenna pass through the antenna coupler to the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter.

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

Accessory items include an 8.3 ft. (2.54 m.) KA 98 Antenna for applications where larger antennas are not practical. A KA 161 External Capacitor unit or KA 162 Dual External Capacitor unit is used to allow the antenna to more efficiently tune short grounded antennas. In a dual installation when two KHF 950 HF/SSB systems share one antenna, two KA 158 Bridging Amplifiers along with a KA 160 Dual Antenna Adapter or KA 162 Dual External Capacitor unit are required.

Several operating mode options are available for the KHF 950 HF/SSB system to meet particular operational needs.

USB (upper sideband A3J) AME (amplitude modulation equivalent A3H) are standard modes of operation permitted on all system configurations.

LSB (lower sideband A3J) operation is not permitted for stations operating under Part 87 FCC (USA) regulations. LSB may be enabled for use in regions or applications where its use is authorized.

A seldom used mode A3A (USB reduced carrier) is available with the KCU 951 Control Unit for use in locations that may utilize the mode.

“Table 44 - Modes of Operation” lists the modes of operation applicable to the KCU 951 Control Unit and the KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit.

The system is capable of operating in a channel (frequency preset) mode or a direct frequency mode. A micro computer within the system provides the following functions:

• Controls the non-volatile storage of frequency, mode and channel data.• Controls a multiplexed eight-digit frequency display.• Provides synthesizer serial data tuning information.• Provides tune and transmit mode control logic.• Provides band switching information.

If the optional KCU 1051 Control Display Unit is used, the following additional capabilities are added:

• Automatic link establishment.• Preset antenna tune.• Frequency scanning.• Built in test with fault display.

1.B.(1) KCU 951 Control Unit (P/N 064-1016-XX)

The KCU 951 Control Unit provides 99 programmable channels plus 280,000 possible frequencies from 2.0 to 2.9999 MHz (at 100 Hz increments) but can be configured to operate in modes that reduce the upper frequency limit. Any channel can be preset to operate as semi-duplex, simplex, or receive only. The KCU 951 Control Unit uses non-volatile electrically erasable PROMs (EEPROMs) to store frequency, emission mode and channel data, even when the system is turned off. All necessary controls for operation of the KHF 950 HF/SSB system, including programming of the 99 preset channels, are on the The KCU 951 Control Unit. The KCU 951 Control Unit is mounted on Dzus rails.

1.B.(2) KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit (P/N 071-1274-XX)

The KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit along with the KA 594 Bus Adapter provides features and controls similar to the KCU 951 Control Unit. Systems that employ the KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit have 19 user programmable channels that may be programmed with simplex or semi-duplex frequency information. Mode information is not stored in the channel information. In addition to those 19 channels, all 245 ITU Public Correspondence Channels (High Seas Operator Frequencies) are permanently programmed into the unit. USB, LSB, and A3J modes of operation are available. For more complete information on the KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit refer to KFS 594 Installation/Maintenance Manual P/N 006-05575-XXXX and for the KA 594 Bus Adapter refer to KA 594 Installation/Maintenance Manual P/N 006-05543-XXXX.

1.B.(3) KA 594 Bus Adapter (P/N 071-1268-XX)

The KA 594 Bus Adapter allows the use of the smaller KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit with the KHF 950 HF/SSB system. The adapter decodes data from the KHF 950 HF/SSB system or the KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit for frequency/channel and tune monitoring. The unit is self-contained and is wired between the KHF 950 HF/SSB system and the KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit. The unit is available in two versions. The -00 version uses internal strapping for the LSB option, and the -01 version uses external strapping for the LSB option.

1.B.(4) KAC 952 Power/Amplifier Coupler (P/N 064-1017-XX)

The KAC 952 Power/Amplifier Coupler is mounted near the antenna to maximize efficiency. In transmit, the KAC 952 Power/Amplifier Coupler amplifies the excitation signal from the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter to 150 watts PEP, or 37 watts of carrier power in AM. After filtering, the amplified signal is fed to the antenna coupler section of the KAC 952 Power/Amplifier Coupler.

Page 15Revision 2 23-20-03 Apr/2006

Page 42: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

The antenna coupler matches the various impedances of the antenna to the 50 ohms output of the transmitter. A microprocessor in the KAC 952 Power/Amplifier Coupler controls the antenna coupler and exchanges information with the KCU 951 Control Unit (or the KA 594 Bus Adapter). In receive, the signal from the antenna passes through the antenna coupler, but bypasses the amplifier section.

1.B.(5) KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter (P/N 064-1015-XX)

The KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter contains an HF receiver and supplies a low power transmit signal to the KAC 952 Power/Amplifier Coupler.

Some versions of the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter support the SELCAL (SELective CALling) option. Both a standard SELCAL decoder (not furnished with the KHF 950 HF/SSB system) and a KHF 950 HF/SSB system (with the SELCAL option) are required for SELCAL operation. A system equipped with SELCAL may have the audio volume turned down completely to relieve background noise during flight. To contact the aircraft a coded audio signal is sent. The signal is decoded by the SELCAL decoder on board the aircraft, and a visual or audio signal is generated to notify the crew of the call.

Some versions of the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter allow interface with data modems or secure voice systems. The KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter data versions are available in standard bandwidth (350 to 2500 Hz) or wide bandwidth (300 to 3150 Hz) versions. Wide bandwidth versions are not FCC type accepted or TSO approved. Also available are versions of the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter that have a modified bandwidth (300 Hz to 2500 Hz passband, and a 4 kHz wide stopband).

1.B.(6) KA 98 Antenna (P/N 071-1252-XX)

The KA 98 Antenna is a short, light weight HF antenna for use with the KHF 950 HF/SSB system. The KA 98 Antenna can be used where conventional long wire antennas are impractical. The antenna is composed of two sections, whip and base. The whip section is designed to be easily removed from the base section for storage. The whip section is 100 inches long, but is designed to have an electrical length of 144 inches.

1.B.(7) KA 161 External Capacitor (P/N 071-1271-XX)

The KA 161 External Capacitor is an accessory unit in the KHF 950 HF/SSB system. The KA 161 External Capacitor is required when a shunt, notch, or short grounded wire antenna is used.

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

1.B.(8) KA 158 Bridging Amplifier (P/N 071-0019-XX)

The KA 158 Bridging Amplifier is an accessory unit in the KHF 950 HF/SSB system. The KA 158 Bridging Amplifier allows both receivers to operate from one antenna in a dual system installation. Two KA 158 Bridging Amplifiers are required for a dual installation, and mount directly on the front of each KAC 952 Power/Amplifier Coupler.

1.B.(9) KA 160 Dual Antenna Adapter (P/N 071-1269-XX)

The KA 160 Dual Antenna Adapter is an accessory unit in the KHF 950 HF/SSB system. The KA 160 Dual Antenna Adapter is required when a dual system installation is used with a single long wire antenna.

1.B.(10) KA 162 Dual External Capacitor (P/N 071-1270-XX)

The KA 162 Dual External Capacitor is an accessory unit in the KHF 950 HF/SSB system. The KA 162 Dual External Capacitor is required for a dual system installation when a shunt, notch, or short grounded wire antenna is used.

3. System Leading Particulars

3.A General Specifications

The KHF 950 HF/SSB system is a solid state design with 150 watts PEP of output power, supplied by 28 Vdc, with an operational frequency range of 2.0 to 29.9999 MHz with 100 Hz resolution. The KHF 950 HF/SSB system has been type accepted by the FCC and TSO approved, except for systems with the KTR 953 -51 Receiver/Exciter wide band version. The KHF 950 HF/SSB system is type listed as ASY90QKHF950.

NOTE: Since the bandwidth of the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter P/N 064-1015-51 exceeds that allowed for FCC type acceptance and TSO approval, KHF 950 HF/SSB systems that use the KTR 953 -51 wide bandwidth version are not FCC type accepted or TSO approved. Therefore, KHF 950 HF/SSB systems that use the KTR 953 -51 wide bandwidth version are valid for operation only where FCC type acceptance and TSO approval is not applicable.

3.A.(1) SPEAKER OUT/DATA OUT 1

NOTE: DATA OUT 1 is available only on systems with KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter versions -51 or -53.

When the KHF 950 HF/SSB system is in a non-data receive mode, normal volume controlled audio is available at the speaker output (500 ohms).

When the KHF 950 HF/SSB system is in the data receive mode the speaker output becomes the DATA OUT 1 port. The DATA OUT 1 port audio is fixed and cannot be changed by the volume control on the system control head. The level is factory adjusted to 0 dBm (500 ohms) but can be field adjusted from -25 dBm to +10 dBm (refer to Paragraph “10. System Maintenance Programs” ). The squelch setting still has control over DATA OUT 1. Data sidetone is present at the DATA OUT 1 port in the data transmit mode.

Page 71: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

3.A.(2) DATA OUT 2

NOTE: DATA OUT 2 is available only on systems with KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter versions -51 or -53.

DATA OUT 2 is an independent 600 ohms data output port which is active only in the data mode. The DATA OUT 2 output is set to a fixed level of 0 dBm at the factory, but can be field adjusted from -49 dBm to +10 dBm (refer to Paragraph “10. System Maintenance Programs” ). DATA OUT 2 output is not affected by the volume control or the squelch setting. Data sidetone is present at the DATA OUT 2 port in the data transmit mode.

The two data outputs may be used simultaneously. For example, when DATA OUT 2 is used as the primary data output, DATA OUT 1 may be adjusted to a level that will provide the operator with a sidetone in the speaker.

3.A.(3) DATA INPUT

When the DATA INPUT is pulled to ground (2 mA sink current) the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter is placed in the data mode. For normal voice operation that line should be allowed to float to +12 Vdc.

3.A.(4) Transmitter Output Power

The KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler contains two different power detectors. One is an average power detector set to approximately 38 watts. The other is a peak power detector set to 100 watts PEP. With single tone modulation (CW) the average power detector takes authority and limits the output power to approximately 38 watts. With multiple simultaneous modulating tones such as voice or certain forms of data, where the average power is below 38 watts, the peak power detector takes authority and limits the output power to approximately 150 watts PEP.

3.A.(5) Duty Cycle

The KHF 950 HF/SSB system is designed for continuous duty cycle (transmit) at 150 watts PEP for voice transmission on single sideband (SSB) only. On all other types of transmissions, the unit operates continuously, but after an extended period of transmission the power begins to back down to protect the power amplifier from overheating. The exact time depends on a number of factors such as ambient temperature, air pressure (altitude), duty cycle, transmission time, and air movement across the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler heat sink.

3.A.(6) Transmit/Receive Switching Delay Times (-53 Data types)

The KHF 950 HF/SSB system is not intended for modes of operation that employ rapid switching between transmit and receive modes. Typical transmit to receive time is 75 msec.

System delays (group delay) for a signal passing through either the transmitter or receiver range from 0.8 msec to 2 sec.

3.B System Operating Modes

3.B.(1) Emission Modes

Several operating mode options are available for the KHF 950 HF/SSB system to meet particular operational needs.

USB (upper sideband A3J) AME (amplitude modulation equivalent A3H) are standard modes of operation permitted on all system configurations.

LSB (lower sideband A3J) operation is not permitted for stations operating under Part 87 FCC (USA) regulations. LSB may be enabled for use in regions or applications where its use is authorized.

A seldom used mode A3A (USB reduced carrier) is available with the KCU 951 Control Unit for use in locations that may utilize the mode.

“Table 44 - Modes of Operation” lists the modes of operation applicable to the KCU 951 Control Unit and the KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit.

3.B.(2) 23 MHz Limit Mode

The KHF 950 HF/SSB system can be strapped to limit the frequency of operation to an upper limit of 23 MHz.

3.B.(3) 27 MHz Limit Mode

The KHF 950 HF/SSB system can be strapped to limit the frequency of operation to an upper limit of 27 MHz.

3.B.(4) Rollover Mode Frequency and Channel Selection

The KHF 950 HF/SSB system can be strapped to allow frequency and channel rollover. Rollover mode allows the user to select frequencies or channels as one continuous series that loops back. When a 9 digit is displayed the next increase in that digit generates a carrier 1 for the next higher digit in the series and changes the digit displayed to a 0. When a 0 digit is displayed the next decrease in that digit generates a borrow 1 for the next lower digit in the series and changes the digit displayed to a 9. This scheme allows the user to select frequencies or channels in a continuous manner with the minimum number of digit changes. Refer to Paragraph “4. System Function” for more description of the rollover mode.

3.B.(5) Non-Rollover Mode Frequency and Channel Selection

The KHF 950 HF/SSB system can be strapped for a non-rollover mode of operation. Non-rollover mode allows the user to select frequencies or channels in a direct manner. When a 9 digit is displayed the next increase in that digit changes the digit displayed to a 0 but no carrier 1 is generated. When a 0 digit is displayed the next decrease in that digit changes the digit displayed to a 9, but no borrow 1 is generated. This results in a non-continuous but direct method of selecting frequencies or channels. Refer to Paragraph “4. System Function” for more description of the non-rollover mode.

3.B.(6) Channel Mode

When operating in the channel mode the KHF 950 HF/SSB system can operate as a simplex, or semi-simplex, or receive only communication system. Transmit and receive frequencies are selected by selecting a pre-programmed channel.

NOTE: Any channel containing a frequency above the selected limit will be altered. Those channels should be re-programmed by the user for frequencies within the frequency limit.

Page 74: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

3.B.(7) Direct Frequency Mode

When operating in the direct frequency mode the KHF 950 HF/SSB system can operate as a simple communication system only. Transmit and receive frequency is determined by the selected frequency, which is entered directly on the control unit.

3.B.(8) Data Mode

When the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter is operating in the DATA mode, interface with data modems or secure voice systems is enabled. The AUDIO OUT interface is used to provide the DATA OUT 1. The output level of the DATA OUT 1 is established at a fixed level by the factory or by field adjustment (refer to Paragraph “10. System Maintenance Programs” ).

A 4 dB variation is possible in the audio response when operating in the data mode (systems using KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter versions -00, -01, -10, -11, -40, -41, -53, -61).

3.B.(9) SELCAL Mode

NOTE: SELCAL mode requires a SELCAL decoder, not supplied.

SELCAL (SELective CALling) may be used to relieve background noises during flight. The volume may be turned down completely while the system maintains a watch for a SELCAL coded audio signal. When a decoded SELCAL signal is received, a call waiting is indicated. The SELCAL decoder generates an audio alert for the crew.

• KCU 951 Control Unit• KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit• KA 594 Bus Adapter• KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler• KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter• KA 98 Antenna• KA 161 External Capacitor• KA 160 Dual Antenna Adapter• KA 162 Dual External Capacitor

The basic KHF 950 HF/SSB system is a mobile communication system for aircraft. It operates in a frequency range between 2.0 and 29.9999 MHz offering several different emission modes to provide voice communication.

By including the appropriate components in an installation, the KHF 950 HF/SSB system capabilities can be increased to allow the system to support Data, SelCal, and Secure Voice communication.

NOTE: Some systems require special versions of system components and special wiring considerations to be part of the original installation and are not intended as an upgrade.

An installation may employ two systems in a dual configuration where both systems share a common antenna. Both systems are allowed to receive simultaneously, but only one system is allowed to transmit at a time. An Auto Select or Manual Select scheme is employed to select which system is transmitting.

4.A.(1) System Power UP

When power is first applied to the system (by rotating OFF/ON VOL Control clockwise), the active channel or frequency is displayed (systems which employ the older KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter with a crystal oven have a blank frequency display during the 2-4 minute warm up period). The active channel or frequency is the last channel or frequency used for transmit prior to system being turned off. The automatic antenna coupler is switched to the bypass state such that the receiver is connected directly to the antenna.

Page 91: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

Depressing the microphone key button momentarily initiates the coupler’s auto tune sequence. The frequency display is blanked again during the auto tune cycle, and the TX message flashes. Emission mode and channel number continue to be displayed. Active frequency reappears upon completion of the coupler tune sequence.

4.A.(2) Channel Operation

Channel number, emission mode and active frequency are displayed. When operating in the optional A3A mode on the KCU 951 Control Unit, the AM and USB messages are both illuminated. When transmitting in the channel mode, the transmit frequency and an added TX message are displayed. Rotation of the inner control knob causes the channel to be incremented or decremented. The coupler is switched to the bypass condition when a channel change occurs. Depressing the Mic key initiates the auto tune sequence.

The coupler generates a READY signal that inhibits the auto tune sequence until a channel change occurs. The coupler monitors SWR during transmit. Should the SWR degrade to a ratio greater than 3.6:1 at the end of a transmission, the coupler starts a tune cycle synchronized with the next microphone key depression.

If a PA or coupler fault is detected, transmit is inhibited and the frequency digits flash to indicate the fault. Depressing the microphone key or a channel change clears the fault indication.

4.A.(3) Direct Frequency Mode

Operation in the direct frequency mode is similar to the channel mode except that the frequency is selected as directly rather than on a preprogrammed basis.

Frequency selection is accomplished by means of cursor/digit increment/decrement switch with only simplex operation allowed. Transmit is allowed on any 100 Hz frequency increment between 2 to 30 MHz frequency range, except for systems employing limited frequency options.

Using a KCU 951 Control Unit, the direct frequency mode is accessed when the FREQ CHAN button is in the out position. The frequency selected, emission mode selected and TX message are displayed when the KHF 950 HF/SSB system is transmitting. No channel number is displayed when operating in the direct frequency mode.

Page 65Revision 2 23-20-03 Apr/2006

Page 92: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

The direct frequency mode is accessed with the KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit by selecting Channel 0".

When changing from channel mode of operation to direct frequency mode of operation the control unit restores frequency and mode selections last used for transmit purposes while operating in the direct frequency mode.

The antenna coupler’s transmitter output is disengaged (bypassed) while changing between channel and direct frequency modes of operation. It is also bypassed if the selected frequency is changed. A new auto tune sequence is initiated with the microphone key.

The cursor control is the outer concentric knob for the KCU 951 Control Unit and the inner concentric knob for the KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit. Both work in an increment/decrement fashion. Cursor position is annunciated by flashing the active digit. The cursor occupies one of six positions and moves left to right for clockwise knob rotation for the KCU 951 Control Unit or by pressing the cursor knob for the KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit.

The cursor hidden position is a blank space between the least significant digit and the most significant digit. Depressing the microphone key causes the cursor to go to the hidden position.

The KCU 951 Control Unit has the capability of a borrow/carry type of tuning. This type of tuning is called rollover and is enabled in the aircraft wiring harness. This allows ease in continuous tuning up and down the frequencies (in 100 Hz steps). For example, if rollover is enabled, and two frequency digits are 89 with the cursor on the 9. One more clockwise rotation of knob changes the digits to 90. Without rollover, the digits revert to 80. If rollover is not enabled, the user may select each frequency digit individually without borrowing from or caring to the next digit.

4.B Dual System

An installation with two KHF 950 HF/SSB systems that share a common antenna is a dual system.

In a dual system both KHF 950 HF/SSB systems are allowed to receive simultaneously, but only one system is allowed to transmit at a time. An Auto Select or Manual Select scheme is employed to select the transmitting system. Auto Select systems employing KCU 951 Control Units use interlock relays to select the transmitting system. In a system with Manual Select, a pilot operated switch performs this function.

Page 66Revision 2 23-20-03 Apr/2006

Page 93: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

If 28 Vdc power is removed from one system the interlock causes operation to default to the other system.

5. Component Functions

5.A KCU 951 Control Unit Function

The KCU 951 controls are identified in “Figure 21 - KCU 951 Control Unit Controls” and each control function is assigned an alphabetic identifier.

Figure 21 - KCU 951 Control Unit Controls

5.A.(1) ON/OFF/VOLUME (A)

Applies power to the unit and controls the audio output level.

5.A.(2) SQUELCH (B)

Squelch control provides variable squelch threshold control.

Page 94: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

5.A.(3) CLARIFIER (C)

Clarifier control provides up to 250 Hz of local oscillator adjustment during the receive mode of operation only. This function is performed by varying the master reference oscillator frequency. The clarifier function is disengaged by pushing the adjust knob in.

5.A.(4) MODE (D)

The emission mode switch is a momentary pushbutton that selects AME, USB or optional A3A or LSB. Emissions mode selection is cyclic moving from left to right. The switch is active at all times except transmit. A3A is indicated by displaying the AM and USB messages simultaneously.

5.A.(5) FREQ/CHAN (E)

This switch transfers the HF system from a direct frequency operation to a channelized form of operation. The switch operates as a two position switch. The depressed position establishes the channelized form of operation.

5.A.(6) CHANNEL/FREQUENCY SELECT (F)

This selector consists of two concentric knobs that control the channel and frequency digits, plus the lateral position of the cursor. These switches function as increment-decrement switches.

5.A.(7) CHANNEL CONTROL (G)

The outer knob is not functional when the FREQ/CHAN switch is in the CHAN position. The inner knob provides channel control from 1 through 99.

5.A.(8) FREQUENCY CONTROL (H)

The outer concentric knob becomes a cursor (flashing light) control with the FREQ/CHAN switch in the FREQ Position. A counter clockwise rotation of the outer knob causes the cursor to move in a right to left direction. A clockwise rotation of the outer knob causes the cursor (flashing digit) to move in a left to right direction. The flashing digit can be incremented or decremented with the inner knob. With the rollover option selected an automatic carry or borrow at 0 and 9 is applied to those digits more significant than the cursor digit. The tens megahertz digit cannot be selected. The units digit selects frequencies from 2 to 29 MHz in 1 MHz steps with rollover from 2 to 29 MHz and 29 to 2 MHz.

Page 95: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

5.A.(9) PROGRAM (PGM) SWITCH (I)

This switch enables channelized data to be modified. The PGM message is displayed whenever this switch is depressed.

5.A.(10) STORE (STO) SWITCH (J)

This switch is used to store the displayed data when programming the preset channels.

5.B KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit Function

The KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit controls are identified in “Figure 22 - KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit Controls” and each control function is assigned an alphabetic identifier.

Figure 22 - KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit Controls

5.B.(1) ON/OFF/VOLUME CONTROL (A)

The smaller left most knob controls the ON/OFF switch and the volume of the received audio. Clockwise motion of the switch increases volume and turns the unit on.

5.B.(2) SQUELCH (B)

The large left most knob selects the threshold of the receiver signal at which the audio shall be enabled. Turn the knob clockwise to reduce this threshold.

Page 69Revision 2 23-20-03 Apr/2006

Page 96: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

5.B.(3) MODE (C)

The larger right most knob controls the emission mode of the radio. When LSB, USB or AM is selected, the radio is set to the corresponding mode, and the control head displays a directly selectable frequency or one of the nineteen user programmable channels. When TEL (A3J) is selected, the radio goes to the corresponding mode, and the control head displays an ITU channel.

5.B.(4) CURSOR/INC/DEC (D)

When pushed in, the smaller right most knob moves the cursor (a flashing digit) from left to right, and when rotated, serves to increment or decrement the digit selected by the cursor.

5.B.(5) STO (E)

The STO button performs four functions. First, when in the channel mode and not in program mode (program mode is annunciated by a flashing dash in the space adjacent to the channel number), pressing the STO causes the head to display the letters "TX" and the transmit frequency, while the receiver monitors the transmit frequency. This allows the user to listen for signals on the transmit frequency or a duplex channel. Second, if STO is pushed while the microphone is keyed, a 1000 Hz tone is transmitted. This is used to break the squelch of some stations. Third, pressing the STO while in program mode enters the selected frequency into the channel to be programmed. Fourth, pressing the STO clears any error conditions, which are annunciated by a flashing "E" displayed for more than three seconds.

TESTING AND FAULT ISOLATION

1. Fault Isolation

Fault isolation locates the source of system failure at the black box or aircraft wiring level. Fault isolation is typically performed on the ground in response to failures indicated during post-installation checkout, preflight testing, or flight operation.

Perform the steps in Paragraph “2. System Performance Check” and refer to Paragraph “3. Fault Isolation Checklist” 3 for fault isolation in the KHF 950 HF/SSB system.

2. System Performance Check

The system check detects problems in the installation that may cause the HF system to fail, to degrade performance, or cause damage to the HF system, such as:

• Intermittent or improperly connected cables or connectors.• Defective units.• Poorly regulated aircraft DC power.• Poor grounding of KHF 950 HF/SSB system or poor aircraft bonding.• Audio ground loops.• RF interference.

CAUTION: POWER CARTS MAY REGULATE POORLY WHEN SUBJECTED TO STRONG RF FIELDS. IF MORE THAN 20% FLUCTUATIONS IN POWER CART VOLTAGES ARE NOTED WHEN TRANSMITTING, DO NOT CONTINUE TESTING WITH POWER CART.

CAUTION: SOME INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS MAY CAUSE OUTPUT TRANSISTORS TO FAIL, THEREFORE TRANSMIT ONLY AFTER OTHER CHECKS HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED.

Perform the steps in the stated sequence.

Page 102: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

2.A Preliminary Check

2.A.(1) Assure that the connector keying in the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler and control connector is correct before applying initial +28 V to system.

2.A.(2) After applying +28 V power but before attempting to transmit, flex the cable to the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler and listen for relays to chatter. Chattering relays indicate an intermittent connection. Repeat this check with the KCU 951 Control Unit or KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit. Check in each of the six bands indicated in table 1001 to be sure there are no intermittent connections in the cable. For example, this check can be performed at 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 19 MHz checkpoints..

Table 1001 - Transmitter Test Band

2.A.(3) As the frequency is changed on the KCU 951 Control Unit or KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit between 3, 4, 8, 12, and 19 MHz, listen to the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler. A relay click should be noted as each of the six bands is selected.

NOTE: In most installations it is beneficial to have two people conduct this test, one person to change the frequency, while the other listens to the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler.

BAND FREQUENCY RANGE CHECKPOINT

1 2.0000 to 3.0999 MHz 3 MHz

2 3.1000 to 4.8999 MHz 4 MHz

3 4.9000 to 7.5999 MHz 6 MHz

4 7.6000 to 11.8999 MHz 8 MHz

5 11.9000 to 18.0999 MHz 12 MHz

6 18.1000 to 29.9999 MHz 19 MHz

Page 1002Revision 2 23-20-03 Apr/2006

Page 103: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

2.B Receiver Performance Check

2.B.(1) Select on the KCU 951 Control Unit or KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit, using direct frequency mode, a frequency such as 2.5, 5, 10, 15 or 20 MHz in order to receive a broadcast station of time and frequency primary standards. Your distance from the broadcast station and propagation conditions will determine which frequency will provide the best reception. (Refer to the KHF 950/990 Pilots Guide, P/N 006-18038-XXXX).

2.B.(2) Position squelch OFF (full CW) so as to not inhibit reception.

2.B.(3) If using a KCU 951 Control Unit, place clarifier in OFF position by pushing the clarifier control in.

2.B.(4) Select AM mode and wait for reference audio tone modulation from the standards station.

2.B.(5) Note the pitch of the audio tone received, then change USB mode. The pitch of the tone should not change significantly. If the tone does change, it indicates that a problem exists in the clarifier wiring or that the reference oscillator in the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter needs alignment.

2.B.(6) If using a KCU 951 Control Unit, pull out the clarifier while on USB mode and vary clarification CW noting pitch decrease and then CCW noting pitch increase with mid range pitch about the same as with the clarifier in (OFF position). If using a KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit go to step (8).

2.B.(7) When the clarifier control is turned, the clarifier knob should have no effect on the pitch.

2.B.(8) Perform step (9) on AM mode at 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 19 MHz.

2.B.(9) Disconnect the coax from the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter, turn the volume control up full on the KCU 951 Control Unit or KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit. Note that the internally generated noise is muted when the squelch control is rotated CCW 1/3 to 1/2 of its range. Adjust squelch to the verge of unsquelching, connect the coax to the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter, and note that antenna noise pickup causes squelch breakthrough. Disconnect the coax, the squelch should mute the audio within two seconds.

Page 1003Revision 2 23-20-03 Apr/2006

Page 104: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

NOTE: For certain times and location the antenna reception may not produce enough noise to break minimum squelch at all frequencies. A signal generator can be used to generate a test signal by connecting a length of wire to the signal generator output and setting the signal generator to about 0 dBm on the frequency of interest. Be sure the receiver is operational in all bands.

2.C Transmitter Performance Check

2.C.(1) Disconnect the coax from the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter.

2.C.(2) Select a direct frequency mode of 8 MHz AM on the KCU 951 Control Unit or KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit.

2.C.(3) Momentarily key the mic switch.

2.C.(4) The digits should blink and the TX message should show momentarily, then a flashing fault signal should occur at 2 Hz rate indicating insufficient RF excitation to initiate the tuning routine. Momentarily key again to clear the fault.

2.C.(5) Connect the coax from the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter to the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler.

2.C.(6) Remove the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler BNC jumper fitting which connects the transmitter output to the tuner input.

2.C.(7) Connect the TX side of SWR/wattmeter (P/N 071-05065-0000) power sensor head to the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler transmitter output. Connect the ANT side of the power sensor head to a 50 ohms resistive load of at least 50 Watts dissipation rating, such as a Bird Model 8085 with 4240-125 BNC connector. See “Figure 1001 - System Check Using SWR/Wattmeter”. Select 50 Watt range and the AVG mode on the wattmeter. Select 8 MHz AM mode on the KCU 951 Control Unit or KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit.

Page 1004Revision 2 23-20-03 Apr/2006

Page 105: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

Figure 1001 - System Check Using SWR/Wattmeter

2.C.(8) Momentarily key the mic switch. While tuning, the power should be between 5 and 10 watts. Tuning should complete in about four seconds showing 1:1 SWR during and after tune. Power after tune should be 37.5 watts if 28 Vdc supply voltage is maintained at the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler connector during transmit. The power output will be reduced to as low as 70% if supply voltage to the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler connector drops to 22 V under load due to battery or wiring limitations. This power reduction is intentionally designed into the ALC to prevent transmitter distortion with a very low battery voltage.

NOTE: If the meter indicates more than 10w during tune, it indicates the ALC is not working properly. Terminate the test to prevent damage to power transistor. Do not hold the MIC button down during tune. Simply push the MIC button momentarily to initiate the tune.

2.C.(9) Select 9 MHz AM on the KCU 951 Control Unit or KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit. Remove the 50 ohm transmitter load from the ANT side of the SWR/wattmeter. Key the mic switch and time the tuning. The tune power should still be 5 to 10 Watts but with infinite SWR. If using a KCU 951 Control Unit or KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit, clear the fault with another momentary mic key. Since the tune is never completed, the transmitter never goes to high power. This is safe since the tuning power is limited to 5 to 10 Watts during tune.

Page 1005Revision 2 23-20-03 Apr/2006

Page 106: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

2.C.(10) Connect the SWR/wattmeter (P/N 071-05065-0000) sensor head between the transmitter output and the tuner input on the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Couple using only the fittings on the sensor.

NOTE: If a wattmeter other than P/N 071-05065-0000 is used which does not attach directly to the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler, it is necessary to tune the system first with the double elbow BNC connector in place. After the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler is tuned, the BNC connector may be removed and the wattmeter may be attached via short cables and readings taken. Tuning the system with a different wattmeter in place will result in erroneous readings due to capacitance in the additional cable.

2.C.(11) Tune the antenna on the authorized frequencies while monitoring the SWR indication during and after the tune on AM mode. You should see the SWR reduced as the tune progresses with the end of the tune resulting in a 2.5:1 or lower.

NOTE: If a wattmeter other than P/N 071-05065-0000 is used, you will not be able to monitor the SWR during the tune.

2.C.(12) Change to USB mode on the KCU 951 Control Unit or KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit. Select the peak reading mode on the power meter. At most mid-range frequencies during transmit, modulation should show 150 Watt PEP into a low SWR tune if 28 Vdc is maintained at the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler connector. For 2.5:1 SWR tune or at the 2 or 30 MHz limits, expect 10% variation from 150 W and up, to an additional 25% variation may be noted if using a wattmeter other than P/N 071-05065-0000.

2.C.(13) For AM mode operation the transmitter will maintain 37.5 Watts only until heat sink temperature rises above 120° C, then power output is automatically regulated downward to protect the power amplifier transistors from becoming to hot. Operation in the USB or LSB modes is more efficient than AM mode. As a result, the temperature of the heat sink will generally not exceed 120° C in SSB voice communications. The 120° C may be exceeded if transmitting data, or with high altitude operation, resulting in a reduction in transmitter output power.

2.C.(14) The antenna coupler should either tune the antenna or display a fault in less than 45 seconds. A fault is displayed on a KCU 951 Control Unit or KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit as flashing frequency digits. Failure to do so indicates an interconnect or unit problem. A failure of the antenna coupler to find a tune can indicate an antenna, antenna feedline, grounding, or KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler failure.

Page 1006Revision 2 23-20-03 Apr/2006

Page 107: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

2.C.(15) Once the antenna coupler is tuned, when using a KCU 951 Control Unit or KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit, it should not have to retune until the frequency is changed or DC power to the HF is interrupted. When using a KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit, changing the mode will have the same effect as changing frequency and cause the system to retune on the next transmission. Once a channel is tuned it should not have to retune until the frequency is changed. Retuning without changing frequency indicates poor connections to the antenna, poor grounding, or poor DC power regulation.

2.C.(16) Select an authorized frequency on the KCU 951 Control Unit or KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit. In the AM mode, key the microphone with no modulation (holding your hand over the mic element may be helpful). Listen for a tone or squeal in the sidetone. If a tone or squeal is heard, it indicates audio (microphone ground loop) or RF feedback problems are present.

2.C.(17) As a final check, establish communication with another HF station and request a signal/audio quality report.

3. Fault Isolation Checklist

FAULT CAUSES

Synthesizer Fault:

The KCU 951 or KFS 594 display is blank except for a decimal point. That indicates the synthesizer is in fault condition, or the channeling is missing.

1. The serial data from the control unit KCU 951 or KA 594/KFS 594 to the KTR 953 is bad. That causes the synthesizer to be unlocked.

2. The internal oscillator in the KTR 953 is bad and the synthesizer unlocks.

Tuning Fault:

The frequency display immediately starts to flash in less than a couple seconds after an attempt to tune the system.

1. There is no excitation from the KTR 953 to the KAC 952. Check for a bad coax between the units.

2. In a dual system the coaxes between the KA 158 Bridging Amplifiers may be crossed. The top connector on one should connect to the bottom connector on the other.

3. The band bit lines between the controller and the KAC 952 may be bad.

1. If the problem is limited to small bands of frequencies, it may be poor grounding of the KAC 952 or a fault in the KAC 952.

2. If it takes a long time to tune, but eventually does tune most frequency bands, a short may exit in the KA 160, KA 161, or KA 162. If the output stud is over-tightened the internal RF feed straps may twist and short. Remove the side cover of the KA 160, KA 161, or KA 162 to check for shorted straps.

3. The output of the KAC 952 may be open. Check coaxes to the antenna system.

FAULT ISOLATION STEPS:

1. Pull the power connector from the KAC 952. Jumper the harness connector pins M, U, V together and let the connector hang loose. With the connector pulled and those pins shorted together the KTR 953 and the controller thinks the couple is valid and ready. This checks the system without the coupler.

2. Try to tune the system. It should find a tune in less than a couple seconds. If if still faults, the KAC 952 and antenna system are ruled out as the cause.

E 001 and/or E 008 on KCU 951 Display:

A communication problem exists between the KCU 951 and KTR 953. It could be a serial data wiring problem, or a fault in the KCU 951 or KTR 953 units.

FAULT CAUSES

Page 109: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

Poor Transmit/Receive Range: HF frequency selection is critical for particular atmospheric conditions. The distance HF can communicate is limited to a minimum and maximum by the time of day, season of the year, and recurring atmospheric conditions including sunspot cycles. Refer to the KHF 950 Pilots Guide, Section I for appropriate frequencies for time of day, time of year, and range in miles.

Transmission Weak and Unreadable: Excessive microphone noise can create a peak RF output without any voice modulation. Voice modulation is buried in noise modulation. The HF should output very little power until the microphone audio is applied to the modulator. But circulating currents in the mic audio shields can cause mic audio noise that modulates the transmitter. If the peak output power, without voice modulation, climbs to the 50 to 150 watt range, too much noise is on the mic audio. An unmodulated HF output should be below 20 watts. The audio shielding should be grounded at one end only to prevent current flow in the shield.

Unable to establish transmit or receive HF communications. Numerous frequencies and stations attempted:

May have same cause as transmission weak and unreadable. If the microphone noise gets loud enough, voice modulation will not be recognized and an answer will never be received.

Excessive Power: 1. Grounded or reversed ALC lines from KAC 952 to KTR 953 can cause excessive power. It causes the exciter to drive the power amplifier to maximum output and usually blows the transmitter final amplifiers.

2. A mismatch of the KTR 953 and KAC 952 can cause excessive power. If the KTR 953 has Mod 8, the KAC 952 needs to have Mod 10 and vice versa. The tuning power may be too high or too low.

Table 1002 - Fault Isolation Checklist

HF has weak Receive and Transmit: If the HF output is shorted inside the KA 160, KA 161, or KA 162 the transmitter may still be able to tune the frequency, but the range will be greatly reduced. Inside the KA 160, KA 161, or KA 162 are metal feed strips that can be twisted out of place if the nut on the output is over-tightened. Pull the side cover to check for a twisted strap shorted to ground.

Controller locks up when pilot’s mike is keyed. Frequency does not show in window.

If the frequency disappears and the “TX” remains it means the KAC 952 is in TUNE Mode. If it stays in TUNE Mode indefinitely it means the KAC 952 received a PA Tune command but did not receive a PA TX command.

The system goes into retune when attempting to transmit:

An intermittent connection between the KAC 952 and the antenna can cause arcing, especially at altitude. Check the coax connections for proper fit and the coax for integrity.

The SELCAL does not work in a KHF 950 HF/SSB ALE system:

The system must be in MANUAL mode for SELCAL to work in an ALE system. SELCAL will not work in ALE mode because the system is scanning, interrogating, and switching frequencies.

5. Installation Planning

5.A General Considerations

General information for installation of the KHF 950 HF/SSB system, instructions for location of system components, interwiring and cable fabrication, and mode strapping options are provided in the following paragraphs. Interconnect diagrams at the end of this section show the interconnection of various system components.

The KHF 950 HF/SSB system should be installed in the aircraft in a manner consistent with acceptable workmanship and engineering practices and according to instructions set forth in this publication.

The installer should make a thorough visual inspection and perform the post-installation and operational checks of the system to ensure that the system has been properly and safely installed in the aircraft.

CAUTION: AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE CABLING AND BEFORE INSTALLATION OF THE EQUIPMENT, SUPPLY AIRCRAFT PRIMARY POWER TO THE UNIT CONNECTORS AND CHECK THAT POWER IS APPLIED ONLY TO THE PINS SPECIFIED IN THE INTERWIRING DIAGRAMS.

5.B Location of Equipment

5.B.(1) KCU 951 Control Unit Mounting Location

Refer to “Figure 2028 - KCU 951 Control Unit Outline and Mounting Drawing” for mounting dimensions.

The KCU 951 Control Unit is mounted within easy reach of the flight crew in standard aircraft Dzus rails. If the aircraft is not equipped with Dzus fittings, refer to “Figure 2028 - KCU 951 Control Unit Outline and Mounting Drawing” for mounting dimensions and to Paragraph “1.C Component Installation Kits Supplied” for part numbers of Dzus rails. Dzus rails are not supplied with KHF 950 HF/SSB system, but may be ordered separately.

5.B.(2) KFS 594 Miniature Control Unit Mounting Location

Refer to “Figure 2029 - KFS 594 Outline and Mounting Drawing” and KFS 594 Installation/Maintenance Manual P/N 006-05575-XXXX.

5.B.(3) KA 594 Bus Adapter Mounting Location

Refer to “Figure 2030 - KA 594 Outline and Mounting Drawing” and KA 594 Installation/Maintenance Manual P/N 006-05543-XXXX.

5.B.(4) KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler Mounting Location

The KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler should be located as close as possible to the antenna feed. The ideal distance is less than 6 inches (15.25 cm.). A length of 18 inches (45.7 cm) is the absolute maximum.

Note: The lead from the coupler to the antenna becomes a part of the antenna and will radiate RF energy inside the fuselage, which may cause interference with other equipment. Antenna feedlines longer than 6 inches will reduce the efficiency of the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler and introduce the possibility of failure to tune at some frequencies. The coupler is equipped with a coaxial output connector, and this feedline must be shielded by using RG-393 cable or an equivalent high voltage cable. The coaxial feedline must be kept as short as possible to reduce losses.

The KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler should be mounted to a rigid structure, e.g. the avionics shelf or aircraft floor. Do not locate the unit on the aircraft skin. Refer to “Figure 2001 - KAC 952 Installation Considerations”, “Figure 2027 - KAC 952 Grounding Detail”, and “Figure 2031 - KAC 952 Outline and Mounting Drawing” for additional mounting considerations.

5.B.(5) KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter Mounting Location

The unit should be mounted to a rigid structure, e.g. avionics shelf or aircraft floor. Do not locate the unit on the aircraft skin. Allow one inch of free air space around the top and sides of the unit. If the KTR 953 Receiver Exciter is mounted at the side of the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler do not install adjacent to the heat sink of the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler. Refer to “Figure 2032 - KTR 953 Outline and Mounting Drawing” for mounting dimensions.

5.B.(6) Antenna Location

The antenna is a primary factor for maximum performance of the KHF 950 HF/SSB system. While numerous options are available in the choice of antenna configurations, some configurations are better suited for a particular installation than others. Commonly used aircraft HF antenna will generally fall into one of four categories:

• V (Referring to the V shape formed by the antenna wire) and Long wire antenna.

• Short grounded wire antenna.• Shunt antenna.• Probe antenna.

Characteristics of these commonly used antennas and the compromise associated with each type are described below, so the installer can select the antenna that is best suited to a particular aircraft and type of operation. All antennas should be installed in a manner that does not jeopardize the safe operation of the aircraft.

5.B.(7)(a) V and Long Wire Antenna Mounting Location

Because of their generally good performance, consideration should be given to the use of V and long wire antennas on all installations, except very high speed fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. Wire antennas are not recommended for use on helicopter due to safety concerns in the event of an antenna wire breakage.

Page 2005Revision 2 23-20-03 Apr/2006

Page 116: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

V and long wire antenna performance will be enhanced by striving to meet the following criteria:

• Maximize the length of wire (up to approximately 60 ft. or 18 m.). The total length of the antenna should be at least 25 ft. (7.6 m).

• Maximize the separation between the antenna wire and the aircraft structure. This is usually achieved by attaching the tensioner as high as possible on vertical stabilizers.

• The far end of the antenna should be either grounded or left open in accordance with the criteria in “Table 2001 - “V” and Long Wire Antenna Termination Considerations”.

Table 2001 - “V” and Long Wire Antenna Termination Considerations

ANTENNA LENGTH TERMINATION

25 ft. (7.6 m) or less Grounded

Between 25ft (7.6m) and 30ft (9.2m) May be either open or grounded

Longer than 30 ft. (9.2 m) Open

NOTE: Ungrounded (Open) antennas develop high RF voltages and therefore are not suitable for operation above 30,000 ft. unless the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler is mounted in a pressurized area.

Page 117: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

5.B.(7)(a)1 Wing Tip V Antenna Mounting Location

The wing type V is one of the most effective HF antennas which can be utilized on an aircraft. It is well suited for slow and moderate speed aircraft which require optimum HF communications performance. It will exhibit a rather omnidirectional radiation pattern, and provide good efficiency at all frequencies. It has the disadvantages of having high drag, and on low wing aircraft is prone to being walked into. The length of a wing tip “V” antenna is usually 30 to 45 ft. (9.2 to 13.7 m).

Page 2007Revision 2 23-20-03 Apr/2006

Page 118: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

5.B.(7)(a)2 Inverted V Antenna Mounting Location

The inverted V antenna is recommended when a wing V is not practical and the antenna coupler is to be mounted in the aft position of the aircraft. The inverted V antenna will produce maximum signal strength off the side of the aircraft, and provide good efficiency at most frequencies. This antenna will produce a moderate amount of drag.

The vertical fin anchor should be located as high as possible on the vertical stabilizer. The feedthru insulator should be located approximately 3 ft. (0.9 m) forward of the base of the vertical stabilizers and near the centerline of the top of the aircraft.

Figure 2003 - Typical Inverted “V” Antenna

Page 2008Revision 2 23-20-03 Apr/2006

Page 119: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

5.B.(7)(b) Long Wire Antenna Mounting Location

The long wire antenna is used when the KA 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler is located in the forward part of the aircraft. It will provide maximum signal radiation off the sides of the aircraft, and exhibit good efficiency, even at the lower frequencies. Significant nulls in signal strength may be noted off the nose and tail of the aircraft.

Figure 2004 - Typical Long Wire Antenna

5.B.(7)(c) Short Grounded Wire Antenna Mounting Location

Short grounded wire antennas may be utilized on higher speed and/or high altitude aircraft. These short wire antennas have a minimum drag. and do not develop as high of RF voltages as do the longer wire antennas, making them suitable for operations up to 55,000 ft. However the efficiency of the short antenna will be lower, especially at the low frequencies.

Typical short wire antennas lengths from around 8 ft. (2.4 m) to 18 ft. (5.5 m). Grounded wire antennas less than 10 ft. (3 m) long must use a KA 161 External Capacitor or KA 162 Dual External Capacitor with -02, -12 versions of the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler. Also, the large antenna currents require the use of a wire with low RF resistance (i.e., large diameter and highly conductive surface) to reduce the power losses in the wire. The feedline and the antenna grounding must have very low RF resistance. Only tensioner with an attached ground wire should be used to terminate the antenna.

Page 2009Revision 2 23-20-03 Apr/2006

Page 120: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

5.B.(7)(c)1 Short Wire to Vertical Stabilizer Antenna Mounting Location

The most common form of short grounded wire antennas have the feedthru insulator mounted on the upper aft part of the fuselage, as far forward of the vertical stabilizer as practical. The antenna wire runs from this feedthru to the tip of the vertical stabilizer. It is important to ground this wire as high as possible on the vertical stabilizer to maximize the efficiency and to reduce the nulls in the pattern. This antenna will generally exhibit maximum radiation off the side of the aircraft.

Figure 2005 - Typical Short Wire to Vertical Stabilizer Antenna

5.B.(7)(c)2 Short Wire to Wing or Horizontal Stabilizer Antenna Mounting Location

In installations where the short wire to the vertical stabilizer may not be practical, consideration may be given to a short grounded wire to the wing or horizontal stabilizer. While such antennas produce only minimum drag, they will tend to be directional off the side of the aircraft. These antennas are also prone to being walked into. Maximum separation between the wire and the aircraft structure is important, as is maximizing the length of the wire.

Figure 2006 - Typical Short Wire to Wing Antenna

Figure 2007 - Typical Short Wire to Horizontal Stabilizer Antenna

5.B.(7)(d) Shunt Antenna Mounting Location

Two types of shunt antennas are commonly used. The most preferable type, on a fixed wing aircraft, is designed by the airframe manufacturer as a part of the airframe structure. It is most often an electrically isolated section of the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer, grounded at the top. The other type of shunt antenna is often referred to as a tranline or towel bar, which is simply a rod or tube run external to a section of the airframe and grounded.

Page 2011Revision 2 23-20-03 Apr/2006

Page 122: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

Shunt antennas are suitable for high altitude aircraft because they do not develop extremely high voltage, however they do develop extremely high RF currents (up to 50 amps). In order to accommodate these high currents, all shunt antennas require the use of a KA 161 External Capacitor or KA 162 Dual External Capacitor with -02, -12 versions of the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler.

5.B.(7)(d)1 Leading Edge of Vertical Stabilizer Antenna Mounting Location

A shunt antenna that is built into the leading edge of the vertical stabilizers has become popular on many jet aircraft. Such an antenna provides no drag, exhibits a rather omnidirectional radiation pattern, and if well bonded can provide moderate to good efficiencies. Good bonding of the antenna, KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler, and KA 161 External Capacitor or KA 162 Dual External Capacitor is essential. A large diameter feedline exhibiting extremely low RF resistance must be used between the KA 161 External Capacitor/KA 162 Dual External Capacitor and the antenna.

5.B.(7)(d)2 Shorted Tranline or Towel Bar Antenna Mounting Location

Grounded tranline (transmission line), often referred to as towel bar antennas because their shape resembles a towel bar, are best suited for helicopter applications. They can be attached parallel to the tailboom, and fed on the forward end. These antennas should be used on fixed wing aircraft only if no other options are practical. These antennas provide minimum drag, but suffer from poor efficiencies, especially at the low frequencies. Loss with this type of antenna can be minimized by observing the following criteria:

• Space the antenna as far off the airframe as possible, 18 in (0.46 m) is preferred, with spacing of less than 9 in (23 cm) being unacceptable.

• The antenna diameter should be a minimum of 1 in (2.54 cm), and constructed out of a highly conductive material. Copper or aluminum is generally used, with silver plating being recommended. Stainless steel should be avoided due to its high resistance. This antenna should be a continuous piece (non-spliced), and well bonded at both ends.

• A minimum antenna length of 12 ft. (3.7 cm) should be used. The feedline coax length should be limited to 6 in (15 cm).

• It is preferable to attach the antenna to a protruding surface, such as a tail boom or a stabilizer element. Attaching to a wide section of the fuselage will generally provide poor performance.

Page 124: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

5.B.(7)(e) Probe Antenna Mounting Location

The KA 98 antenna can be used in applications where longer antennas are not practical. Like all short antennas, a probe antenna will provide poor efficiencies at the very low frequencies. Maximum signal strength will generally be produced off the side of the of the aircraft. Drag will be minimum.

On a helicopter, the best performance is obtained with the antenna mounted forward. If aft mounted, a minimum of 3 ft. (0.9 m) separation is required between the antenna probe and conductive air frame structure. On a fixed wing aircraft aft mounting is recommended, with the probe being free and clear of the airframe. It is important that the probe antenna be provided with a good RF ground. The feedline between the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler and the KA 98 Antenna may not exceed 18 in (0.46 m). If the 18 inch requirement cannot be met in a particular installation, consideration should be given to the use of a KHF 990 system.

5.C Interwiring and Cable Fabrication

5.C.(1) Fabrication and Routing

“Figure 2045 - KHF 950 KCU 951) Interconnect Drawing” and “Figure 2046 - KHF 950 12 Vdc to 28 Vdc Conversion” provide interconnect summaries of the KHF 950 HF/SSB Communication System (with KCU 951).

Cabling must be fabricated according to the interwiring diagrams. The length of the wires to parallel pins should be approximately the same length, for best current distribution. Wires for optional functions are shown on the interwiring diagrams. The actual use of these wires will depend upon the installation, customer requirements and capability of the units installed.

When the cables are installed in the aircraft, they must be supported firmly enough to prevent movement and should be carefully protected against chafing. Additional protection should also be provided in all locations where the cables may be subject to abuse.

In wire bundles, the cabling should not be tied tightly together as this tends to increase the possibility of noise pickup and similar interference. When routing cables through the airframe, the cables should cross high-level lines at a right angle.

Wiring harness and antenna cable should be routed in such a manner that they do not adversely affect the operation of the shock mounts.

The installer must be knowledgeable of any system variation peculiar to the installation such as strapping requirements described in Paragraph “5.D Strapping Options”. Furthermore, the installer should use ARINC Characteristic 735 as a guide and reference throughout the fabrication and installation of the cabling in the aircraft.

5.C.(2) Interface Capability and Requirements

All RF coaxes must be double shielded.

In systems that employ speech processing (i.e., KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter -10, -11), special care should be taken in the routing of the microphone input line. This line is susceptible to noise. It should not be routed in the same harness containing high current lines, such as the DC Power to the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler.

Page 2015Revision 2 23-20-03 Apr/2006

Page 126: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

5.C.(3) Primary Power and Circuit Breaker Requirements

The KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler must be connected to the aircraft power with a circuit breaker with not less than a 25 AMP rating. A fuse block and fuse should be installed to protect the individual units of the KHF 950 HF/SSB system.

A special fuse block (P/N 071-00029-0000) is required in systems that employ speech process (i.e., KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter -10, -11). This fused block contains filtering capacitors to reduce potential interference and must be installed near the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler.

5.C.(4) Antenna Cable Type

The antenna cable must be double shielded and not adversely affect the operations of the shock mounts. RG-393 (P/N 024-0005-0060) or equivalent is recommended for fabrication of the antenna cable.

5.C.(5) Connectors

Mating connectors for the KHF 950 HF/SSB system components are identified on the appropriate outline drawing. Associated connector installation kits are specified in “Description and Operation”. Crimping, insertion, extraction tools are identified in Paragraph “5.C.(6) Crimping, Insertion and Extraction Tools”.

6. Equipment Installation

6.A Bonding Connections

6.A.(1) Special Bonding Connection and Corrosion Prevention Techniques

Because the mounting surfaces are an important part of the ground system, bonding between these surfaces requires special attention.

Note: All nonconductive finishes such as paint, anodizing films, or zinc chromate, must be totally removed from the entire mating surface before assembly. Techniques such as spot-facing or cleaning only small area of the mating surfaces do not provide adequate RF bonding.

Ground strap connections must be totally free of any non-conductive finishes.

Corrosion resistance for aluminum mating surfaces should be achieved by cleaning the aluminum surfaces with Alumiprep #33 (P/N 016-01127-0000), and then applying Alodine #1001 (P/N 016-01128-0000). Alodine #1001 (as well as Alodine #600) provides good electrical conductivity, other Alodine coatings should be avoided.

Only after the shelves are assembled and mounted, and ground straps installed, may nonconductive or poorly conductive protective finishes, such as zinc chromate be applied. Periodic inspection should be made of all bonds to ensure that corrosion is not occurring.

OPTION FUNCTION TO ACTIVATE

LSB Enables LSB mode Allow pin 14 of connector P5941 to float.

Page 158: KHF 950 MANUAL

NKHF 950 HF/SSB SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL

6.A.(2) Bonding Strap Considerations

Make bonding straps as short as practical and installed in such a manner that the resistance of each connection does not exceed 0.003 ohms. The straps must not interfere with moveable aircraft elements, such as surface controls, nor should the movements of these elements result in damage to the bonding straps. Physical thickness of the strap is not important in RF application but the strap must not interfere with the operations of the shock mounts. Typical strap thickness is 0.010 inches.

Note: Braid is not acceptable in RF bonding applications.

6.B KCU 951 Control Unit Installation

The KCU 951 Control Unit is installed in standard aircraft Dzus rails. If the aircraft is not equipped with Dzus fittings, refer to “Figure 2028 - KCU 951 Control Unit Outline and Mounting Drawing” for dimensions and to Paragraph “1.D Equipment Required But Not Supplied” for part numbers of Dzus rails. Dzus rails are not supplied with KHF 950 HF/SSB system installation kits, but may be ordered separately.

6. B.(1) Select a mounting location. Refer to “Figure 2028 - KCU 951 Control Unit Outline and Mounting Drawing” for proper placement dimensions.

6. B.(2) If the aircraft is equipped with Dzus fasteners, secure the KCU 951 Control Unit into place with four (4) Dzus locks on the face plate.

6. B.(3) If the aircraft is not equipped with Dzus fasteners, installation of Dzus rails will be necessary.

6. B.(4) Select appropriate field selectable options. Refer to “Table 2014 - KCU 951 Strapping Options” and “Figure 2026 - KCU 951 Control Board Strapping Options”.

6. B.(5) Connect P9511 to control unit and mount with Dzus fasteners.

Select a mounting location for the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler. Refer to Paragraph “5.B.(4) KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler Mounting Location”.

6.E.(2) Power Requirements

The KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler will operate from a 28 +10/-20% Vdc power supply. The unit must be connected to the aircraft power supply with a circuit breaker with not less than a 25 Amp rating. A fuse block and fuses shown in the interconnect drawing should be installed to protect individual units of the KHF 950 HF/SSB system. See Paragraph “6.E.(3) Speech Processed System Considerations” for special fuse block considerations in a speech processed system. Fuses are not provided. A 12 Vdc to 28 Vdc conversion is shown in “Figure 2047 - KHF 950 12 Vdc to 28 Vdc Conversion”.

6.E.(3) Speech Processed System Considerations

Systems that employ speech processing (i.e., KTR 953 -10,-11) are more susceptible to noise on the microphone input line to the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter. This is due to the higher effective microphone sensitivity of the speech processed unit. Care should be taken that the microphone cable is not routed in the same harness as the DC power to the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler or other high current lines. To further reduce potential interference, a special fuse block (P/N 071-00029-0000) which contains filter capacitors, must be installed near the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler.

6.E.(4) Grounding Requirements

Note: The importance of properly RF bonding the KAC 952 Power Amplifier/Antenna Coupler to the airframe cannot be over emphasized.

Note: Except for the ground provided by the feedline coax shield, bonding should not be done with braided wire, but with solid conductive straps, typically one inch wide.

All alignment and adjustment procedures are accomplished during bench maintenance. When unit performance indicates an adjustment or an alignment is required technician should remove the unit from the aircraft, then reference should be made to the related Maintenance Manual.

9.B System Protection

There are no fuses integral to the KHF 950 HF/SSB Communication System. The system is protected by circuit breakers located at the circuit breaker panel in the aircraft. A fuse block may be used to provide individual unit protection, if desired.

NOTE: KHF 950 HF/SSB Communication Systems with Voice Processing require a special fuse block with noise filtering that may be independent of the breaker panel.

9.C Lubrication

No lubrication is required. There are no moving parts that require lubrication in the KHF 950 HF/SSB Communication System.

9.D Cleaning

The exterior of the units should be wiped with lint-free cloth dampened with the approved cleaning agent, when deemed necessary, depending upon environmental exposure and intensity of use.

NOTE: Limit cleaning of equipment interiors to that required at bench overhaul.

10. System Maintenance Programs

10.A System Maintenance Recommendations

10.A.(1) Perform a system performance check when a component of the system is replaced or installed.

10.A.(2) To confirm satisfactory system operation a system performance test may be performed as required.

10.A.(3) After major aircraft maintenance cycles a system performance check should be performed.

10.B Field Alignment of KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter (-51, -53)

Data inputs and outputs are factory adjusted to 0 dBm arms into their respective impedances. Should readjustment be required for a particular installation remove the KTR 953 Receiver/Exciter (-51, -53 only) from the aircraft and perform the following procedures.

10.B.(1) Data Input

10.B.(1)(a) Apply a single modulating tone (at a frequency within the Receiver/Exciter passband) to the DATA IN pins at 0 dBm (0.77 Vrms across 600 ohms) or other appropriate level.

10.B.(1)(b) Monitor TP1001 with a AC coupled RMS reading voltmeter or an oscilloscope.

10.B.(1)(c) Pull the DATA strapping line to ground to select the data mode of operation. Apply DC power to the system and turn the system ON.

10.B.(1)(d) In the receive mode adjust DATA IN adjustment (R1031) to provide 1.4 Vrms on the voltmeter or 4.0 Vp-p on the oscilloscope.

10.B.(2) Data Outputs

10.B.(2)(a) Apply a 1000 μV, 12001.0 kHz unmodulated RF input signal to J9532.

10.B.(2)(b) With the system on, select USB at 1200.0 kHz on the control head.

10.B.(2)(c) Select the data Mode by grounding the DATA Line.

10.B.(2)(d) Monitor DAT OUT 1 pins with a RMS ACVM or an oscilloscope and terminate with a 500 ohm load.

10.B.(2)(e) Adjust DATA OUT 1 adjustment (R1023) to provide 0 dBm (0.77 Vrms or 2.0 Vp-p) or other desired level.

10.B.(2)(f) Monitor DATA OUT 2 pins with a RMS ACVM or an oscilloscope and terminate with a 600 ohm load.
