from <self address>[@<network>] is the self address [and network] that you
want to use for this call.
amd command
If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed, you can use the amd
command to send a message within an existing ALE link. When you establish a link
using a calling command that allows an ALE address, for example, call and
alecall, you can send messages within the link. The message must be enclosed in
quotes.
Syntax
amd "<message>"
where:
<message> is the written text message that is to be sent to the station. Use single or
double quotes, or backslashes to recognise spaces in the message text (see page 433,
Using quotation marks).
beacon command
If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed, you can use the beacon
command to test the quality of channels in an ALE/CALM, Codan Selcall or Voice Only
network before you use it to transmit voice or data. If you use the beacon command in
an ALE/CALM network the information in the LQA database will also be replaced. The
command sends a request to the addressed stations you want to call on a specific channel
(thischan), or all channels, in the selected network. The receiving stations
automatically respond with LQA information if the beacon is made in an ALE/CALM
network.
The LQA information, or the volume and clarity of the returned test signal, indicate the
quality of the channel(s).
Syntax
beacon <destination>[@<network>] [s] [from <self
address>[@<network>]]
NOTE
You cannot use the ALL, ANY, or Wildcard address syntax in the
beacon command.
