Send Position call
If you want to send your GPS information to another station, make a Send Position call.
You can only make Send Position calls if the GPS option has been installed in your
transceiver.
If you have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the ALL
address syntax with the Send Position 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
Send Position 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.
For more information on the ALE address syntaxes you can use with a Send Position call
see page 164, Summary of the special ALE address syntaxes.
Send Position calls are automatically answered by any receiving stations so an operator
is not required to take any action. If you send an ALE call using the Send Position call
type, the link terminates immediately after the GPS position is sent. GPS positions you
send are stored in the Calls Out Log (see page 187, The Calls Out Log).
Group calls in a Codan Selcall network
Emergency, Message and Selective calls can be made to a group of stations
simultaneously by using a Codan Selcall network and a group address.
A group selcall address is an address that ends in two or more zeros. For example, to call
all stations with addresses that range from 1201 to 1299, you would enter 1200 as the
address. To call all stations with addresses that range from 150001 to 159999, you would
enter 150000 as the address.
NOTE
You can use any of the characters in the basic 38 ASCII subset (A–Z, 0–9,
@ and ?) for the address.
NOTE
You can replace the zeros at the end of the address with dots or question
marks, for example, 12.. or 12?? instead of 1200.
