Making and receiving calls
2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 169
Phone call
If you want to call a telephone number from the transceiver, make a Phone call. Before
you make a Phone call you need to know the address of a telecommunication station
through which your call can be routed to the public telephone network.
If you have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the ALL
address syntax with the Phone call type to send a call to a group of telecommunication
stations using an ALE/CALM network. If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option
installed, you can use the ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, and Wildcard address
syntaxes with the Phone call type to send a call to a group of stations using an ALE/
CALM network.
For more information on the ALE address syntaxes you can use with a Phone call see
page 164, Summary of the special ALE address syntaxes.
Selective call
If you want to speak to an operator at a particular station, make a Selective call. When
the station receives the call the transceiver rings like a phone to notify the operator.
Selective calls can be heard by any station tuned to or scanning your current channel
with their mute switched off. However, only the transceiver at the station to which the
call has been addressed will ring.
Selective calls can be made to several stations at once (see page 170, Group calls in a
Codan Selcall network).
If you have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the ALL
address syntax with the Selective call type to send a call to a group of stations using an
ALE/CALM network. If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed, you
can use the ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, and Wildcard address syntaxes with the
Selective call type to send a call to a group of stations using an ALE/CALM network.
The transceiver will automatically determine the call icon from the address syntax that
you enter in the address.
If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed and the ALE Selective Msg
entry in the Control List enabled, you will be able to send a message with the start of a
call if you press when prompted during the call. You must use an ALE/CALM
network to make the call.
For more information on the ALE address syntaxes you can use with a Selective call see
page 164, Summary of the special ALE address syntaxes.
NOTE
You can use any of the characters in the basic 38 ASCII subset (A–Z, 0–9,
@ and ?) for the address.
