Making and receiving calls
172 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual
Recognised variable expansion
The variables listed in Table 20 may be added in a Message call or an AMD message
sent with a call. These variables are recognised by the 2110 SSB Transceiver’s firmware.
The firmware expands the variable by inserting the current information associated with
the variable in the message.
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. If you enter the following message...
MY POSITION IS $GPS
...the receiving station will display the following:
“MY POSITION IS 8958.04N 13841.23E +0.0M 101622 (A)” 05 FEB 02:05
Table 20: Recognised variables and their associated information

$DATE Inserts the current date in the following format: <name of day>
<month> <day> <year>
$GPS Inserts the current valid GPS position in the following format:
<latitude> <longitude> <altitude> <UTC>
$TIME Inserts the current time in the following format: <hh>:<mm>:<ss>
$TZ Inserts the time zone offset in the following format: <time zone
offset>
$VER Inserts the current version of the transceiver unit firmware in the

NOTE
For help on entering $ see page 55, Entering special characters in
messages and names.
NOTE
The transceiver checks the length of the expanded message before
transmission. If you receive an error stating that the message is too long,
review the message and shorten the message as required.
