ENVOY™ TRANSCEIVER REFERENCE MANUAL 429
HF network Two or more stations that use the same channels and call system to
communicate.
hot key A key on the handset or desk console that is pre-programmed with a macro
that enables you to perform a task quickly.
address The HF transceiver equivalent of a telephone number. Your station self
address is used by other stations to call you, and it is sent when you make
calls to identify you as the caller. It is sometimes referred to as a station
ID, or a self ID.
Last Heard log A log of the last 100 on-air transmissions detected by the current station.
The information gathered from each transmission includes the address of
the heard station, the time/date of the transmission, and the channel/mode
used for the transmission.
The Last Heard Log is available if the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option is
installed.
link A link is established following a 3-way handshake process. Scanning is off
and a timeout, set using the In Call Timeout entry in Settings >
Calling > General, is active.
With ALL calls and NET calls that are set to link immediately, the link
establishment process is 1-way.
listen before transmit
(LBT)
The automatic process that the transceiver uses to detect whether or not
there is traffic on a channel and, when necessary, select another channel or
inform the user that the channel is busy.
LQA beacon A Channel Test call that is made in an ALE/CALM HF network using a
Group Selective or NET address syntax. The LQA beacon tests all
channels in the scan table(s) associated with the HF network to determine
the best channel according to local and remote BER and SINAD
measurements. On completion of the beacon, the information collected
replaces the information for the channel stored in the LQA database. It is
sometimes referred to as an ALE beacon.
The LQA beacon is available if the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option is
installed.
macro A short set of instructions to automate a task you perform with the
transceiver. When a macro is assigned to a key, the key becomes a hot key.
manual sounding A Channel Test call that is made in an ALE/CALM HF network using the
text SOUNDING as the call address. The station performs a sounding
operation, which other stations use to update the information in their LQA
database.
Manual sounding is available if the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option is
installed.
Message call A call that enables you to send a message to a specific station.
