Making a manual sounding operation in an
ALE/CALM network
If you need to perform a manual sounding operation using the
handset, you make a Channel Test call in an ALE/CALM
network using the text SOUNDING as the address. You can do
this as part of a new call, or if you use this feature often, set up
an entry in the Address List, then use this entry to perform a
sounding operation in the selected network (see page 204,
Creating an entry in the Address List). The sounding operation
will update the LQA database in transceivers that detect the
sounding.
To make a manual sounding operation:
1 Press the key.
1 Select Channel Test as the call type, then press the
key to enter the text SOUNDING as the address,
then press the key.
1 Select the ALE/CALM network in which you want to
make the sounding, and if scanning was switched off, the
channel/mode on which you want to make the sounding.
A sounding operation on all channels, or the specified
channel, in the network is performed.
