The HF transceiver equivalent of a telephone number. Your
station self address is used by other stations to call you, and it is
sent when you make calls to identify you as the caller. It is
sometimes referred to as an ID, a station ID, or a self ID.
An ALE address syntax used to broadcast to any station that is
tuned to the same frequency in an ALE/CALM network or
scanning the network. The ALL call uses a special address
syntax @?@ that ALE stations recognise.
A selective ALL call addresses a subset of stations. A multiple
selective ALL call addresses these subsets within the one call.
The ALL address syntax may be used in Emergency, Message,
Phone, Selective, and Send Position calls if the FED-STD-1045
ALE/CALM option or MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option is
installed.
An ALE address syntax used to broadcast to any station that is
tuned to the same frequency in an ALE/CALM network or
scanning the network. The ANY call uses a special address
syntax @@? that ALE stations recognise.
A selective ANY call addresses a subset of stations. A multiple
selective ANY call addresses these subsets within the one call.
The ANY address syntax may be used in Emergency, Message,
Phone, Selective, and Send Position calls if the MIL-STD-188-
141B ALE option is installed.
A process that automatically adjusts the gain with respect to the
input signal to provide a constant output level.
A process that automatically provides a constant output level as
the input level varies.
An antenna designed for use with multichannel transceivers. It
uses a microcontrolled stepper motor to give continuous tuning
over the operating frequency range of the antenna.
