2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 175
Replacing LQA information for all channels in an ALE/CALM network
If your station operates in a rapidly changing environment, for example, interactions
with mobile stations, you may want to replace the network-specific LQA information in
the transceiver’s database just prior to making a call in the network. You can do this by
making a Channel Test call in the network using the Group Selective or NET address
syntax.
If you want to replace the LQA information for an ALE/CALM network in your
transceiver, you can do so in two ways. You can:
• start a call then, when prompted to select a channel/mode, test one or more channel/
mode combinations
• make a separate Channel Test call before you make the other call
During a Channel Test call in an ALE/CALM network, the LQA screen will be visible,
indicating the most recent response from a station, and a progress report on the highest
number of responses received on any channel and the number of channels tried.
Figure 30: LQA screen showing the most recent response
For more information on the LQA screen see page 224, LQA Screen entry.
NOTE
You can make a Channel Test call in an ALE/CALM network if you have
the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed.
CAUTION
You cannot make a Channel Test call using the ALL, ANY, or
Wildcard address syntax, or to a NET that is set up to link
immediately (see page 134, Settings in the NET List).
