Entries for a NET
NET name
The NET name may be any meaningful name that you want to assign to the NET to
uniquely identify it for selection in the user interface of the control point. The name
may be up to 20 alphanumeric characters including spaces. The NET name is only
used for reference within the transceiver. It is not part of the NET configuration data.
Address
CAUTION: The NET address must be the same for all members of the NET.
The Address entry contains the global address used by all stations that have the NET
programmed in User Data > NETs. The address may be up to 15 alphanumeric
characters, however, for efficiency of NET calls, it is preferable that the address be
limited to 3 characters. You should choose an address that is not the same as any self
addresses of members of the NET or wider communication audience.
HF network
CAUTION: The HF network must be the same for all members of the NET.
The HF Network entry defines the scan table(s) containing the channels to be used
with the NET. It is selected from the pre-defined list in HF Networks. You can set
up two NETs with the same address but with different HF networks, say one for Group
privacy mode and one for Plain privacy mode. If the HF networks have the same
channels, then the NET Members entry in each NET should be identical as calls may
be received via either HF network.

NET members
CAUTION: The list of NET members must be the same for all members of the
NET.
The NET Members entry contains a sequential list of the self addresses of all
members of the NET. The station uses this list to calculate the response slots, so each
station in the NET can determine when an automatic response is required after the start
of the call. A member’s self address may be up to 15 alphanumeric characters,
however, for efficiency of NET calls, it is preferable that each member self address be
limited to 3 characters. To preserve an empty slot use the null address (@@@) in a
NET member position.
