Call types
The type of call that you may send depends upon your operational scenario. You can
call another station by entering the address for that station and selecting the type of
call that you want to make. For example, if you want to speak to an operator, make a
Selective or Emergency call. If you want the stations to automatically exchange
information without the need for an operator to answer a call, make a Message, Send
Position, Get Position or Get Status call.
If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed, you can make a call from
one station to many stations by using a special ALE address syntax.
