ALE LQA Exchange
If you want the transceiver to send and receive LQA information to and from other
stations during calls, set the ALE LQA Exchange entry to On.
If the ALE LQA Exchange entry in your transceiver is set to Off it will not request LQA
information from other stations. Your transceiver will receive any LQA information sent
from the other station.
ALE LQA Mapping
The ALE LQA Mapping entry determines the method by which the LQA information is
stored within the transceiver, that is, according to frequency or channel name.
ALE Retries
When you make a call in an ALE/CALM network the transceiver attempts to establish an
ALE link with the other station on the best available channel. If you want the transceiver
to retry each channel before trying the next best channel in the network, set the number
of retries you want in the ALE Retries entry. The transceiver can retry channels up to
five times. If you do not want the transceiver to retry channels, set the ALE Retries entry
to zero.
ALE Selective Msg
When you make a Selective call in an ALE/CALM network you are able to include a
message with the call.
If you want to be prompted to include a message with a Selective call in an ALE/CALM
network, set the ALE Selective Msg entry to Enabled. If you do not need to send
messages with Selective calls on ALE/CALM networks, or your transceiver does not
contain ALE/CALM networks, set this entry to Disabled.
ALE Silent Mode
The ALE Silent Mode entry disables automatic ALE transmissions from the transceiver.
When ALE Silent Mode is switched on you can send ALE calls but not receive them,
and the transceiver receives sounding signals but does not send them. When ALE Silent
Mode is switched off the transceiver operates as a normal ALE station.
NOTE
When the ALE LQA Exchange entry is set to On, it increases the length
of time it takes to establish a call by approximately 4 seconds for every
10 channels on which the call is tried.
NOTE
LQA information is always exchanged during a Channel Test call in an
ALE/CALM network, regardless of the setting in the ALE LQA
Exchange entry.
