Selective Call - Codan 2110 series Reference Manual

Message calls are automatically answered by a receiving station so an operator is not
required to take any action. If you send an ALE call using the Message call type, the
ALE link terminates immediately after the message is sent. Messages you receive are
displayed on the screen, if permitted, and stored in the Calls In Log (see

Phone call
If you want to call a telephone number from the transceiver, make a Phone call. Before
you make a Phone call you must know the address of an HF telecommunication station
through which your call can be routed to the public telephone network.
If you have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the global
ALL address syntax (@?@) with the Phone call type to send a call to a group of HF
telecommunication stations using an ALE/CALM network. If you have the MIL-STD-
188-141B ALE option installed (2110 only), you can use the ALL, ANY, Group
Selective, NET, or Wildcard address syntax with the Phone call type to send a call to a
group of stations using an ALE/CALM network.
NOTE
For more information on the ALE address syntaxes you can use with a Phone call see
page 192, Summary of the special ALE address

Selective call

If you want to speak with an operator at a particular station, make a Selective call. When
the station receives the call, the transceiver sounds an alert tone similar to a telephone to
notify the operator. Selective calls can be heard by any station tuned to or scanning your
current channel with their mute switched off. However, only the transceiver at the station
to which the call is addressed will sound an alert tone.
Selective calls can be made to several stations at once (see
Codan Selcall
If you have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the global
ALL address syntax (@?@) with the Selective call type to make a voice call to a group
of stations using an ALE/CALM network. If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE
option installed (2110 only), you can use the ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, or
Wildcard address syntax with the Selective call type to send a call to a group of stations
using an ALE/CALM network. The transceiver automatically determines the call icon
from the address syntax that you enter in the address.
NOTE
If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed (2110 only) and the ALE
Selective Msg entry in the Control List set to Enabled, you are able to send a message
with the start of a call if you press
