3-12.3.4.7 Transmitting AIICalls
An AllCall is a message which your radio uses to establish a connection with all the other stations
simultaneously, and is typically used to broadcast a message or send a distress call. An AllCall can
also include a message.
In addition to this type of AllCall (referred to as a global (GL) AllCall), it is also possible to use
selective (SL) AllCall: this is a simultaneous call addressed only to all the stations whose names
(addresses) end with a character you specify.
NOTE
If so required, you can set your radio so that it cannot send AIICalls.
You cannot select the channel on which an outgoing AllCall will be sent: outgoing AllCalls are sent
on the AllCall channel defined for the currently selected net, or on the best scanned channel of the net.
NOTE
When radios in other nets have their MultiNet feature enabled,
AIICalls may also reach these radios.
There are two ways to send a global AllCall: using the ESC key or using the CALL function. A
selective AllCall can be sent only using the CALL function.
To send global AllCall using the ESC key:
1. Press ESC continuously for a few seconds. The radio starts sending
the GL AllCall.
During this process, you will see TO alternating with the number of
the channel on which the set up request is being sent.
NOTE
While the radio is initializing the link, you can press STOP or
ESC to abort the entire process.
