Call description
The Call Description entry enables you to enter a meaningful name for a call to
distinguish it from other calls for the same contact. By default, the Call Description
entry is filled with the call type. When you go to Contacts during the call process to
select a contact to call, you have to select the call that you want to make. The names
that appear in this selection list are the call descriptions.
Base
The Base entry is used to identify if the station that you are calling is in a permanent
location. This has an impact on how LQA information is adjusted for calls made using
an ALE/CALM HF network. Base-to-base calls have relatively static LQA
information over a 24-hour period. Information held for a base-to-mobile call tends to
fluctuate over a 24-hour period due to distances travelled by the mobile station.
NOTE: The Base entry is shown for ALE/CALM HF networks only.
