Group Selective
call
An ALE call that is sent to stations
specifically addressed in the call that are
tuned to the same frequency in an
ALE/CALM network or scanning the
network. The Group Selective call requests
an automatic response from stations that
detect the call. These responses are returned
in reverse order from that provided in the
call. The initiating station then completes
the link establishment by sending an
acknowledgement to all stations from which
it received a response.
handset A hand-held device that is used to control
the functions of a transceiver. It consists of a
microphone, PTT button, display and
keypad.
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.
junction box The unit in a transceiver to which a handset,
RF unit, speaker and related devices are
connected. The junction box receives the
instructions that a user enters through the
handset and sends these instructions to the
relevant devices.
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 self address of the
heard station, the time/date of the
transmission, and the channel/mode used
