Making an Emergency call
If you want to trigger an emergency alert tone at a particular station and speak with an
operator, make an Emergency call. If the GPS Call option is installed in the
transceiver (and you have connected and configured a GPS receiver, or GPS
information stored in the My Position entry), your GPS position is automatically
sent with the call. Emergency calls can be sent 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 Emergency call type to send a call to all stations
using an ALE/CALM HF network and common channels. 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 Emergency call type to send a
call to a group of stations using an ALE/CALM HF network.
