Selective call
If you want to speak with an operator at a particular station, make a Selective call.
When the station receives the call, the transceiver sounds an alert tone similar to a
telephone to notify the operator. Selective calls can be heard by any station tuned to
or scanning your current channel with their mute switched off. Only the transceiver at
the station to which the call is addressed will sound an alert tone.
Selective calls can be made to several stations at once.
If you have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the global
ALL address syntax (@?@) with the Selective call type to make a voice call to a group
of stations using an ALE/CALM HF network. If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B
ALE option installed, you can use the ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, or Wildcard
address syntax with the Selective call type to send a call to a group of stations using
an ALE/CALM HF network. The transceiver automatically determines the call icon
from the address syntax that you enter in the address.
If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed and the ALE Selective
Message entry set to Enabled, you are able to send a message with the call. You
are prompted to attach a message when you send the call. You must use an
ALE/CALM HF network to make the call.

Send Position call
NOTE: You can make a Send Position call if the GPS Call option is installed,
and your GPS information is valid.
If you want to send your GPS information to another station, make a Send Position
call.
NOTE: The transceiver sends GPS information from either a connected GPS
receiver (selected as a peripheral device), or from valid content in
Settings > GPS > My Position.
Send Position calls can be made to several stations at once. If you have the
FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the global ALL address
syntax (@?@) with the Send Position call type to send a position to a group of stations
using an ALE/CALM HF network. If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option
installed, you can use the ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, or Wildcard address
syntax with the Send Position call type to send a position to a group of stations using
an ALE/CALM HF network.
