ALE Retries
When you make a call in an ALE/CALM network, the transceiver attempts to establish
an ALE link with the other station on the best available channel. If you want the
transceiver to retry each channel before trying the next best channel in the network, set
the number of retries you want in the ALE Retries entry. The transceiver can retry
channels up to five times. If you do not want the transceiver to retry channels, set the
ALE Retries entry to zero.
ALE Selective Msg
NOTE
When you make a Selective call in an ALE/CALM network, you are able to include a
message with the call.
If you want to be prompted to include a message with a Selective call in an ALE/CALM
network, set the ALE Selective Msg entry to Enabled. If you do not need to send
messages with Selective calls in ALE/CALM networks, or your transceiver does not
contain ALE/CALM networks, set this entry to Disabled.
ALE Silent Mode
The ALE Silent Mode entry disables automatic ALE transmissions from the transceiver.
When ALE Silent Mode is set to On, you can send ALE calls but not receive them, and
the transceiver receives sounding signals but does not send them. When ALE Silent
Mode is set to Off, the transceiver operates as a normal ALE station.
ALE Site Mgr
The ALE Site Mgr entry enables the transceiver to collect information on other
transceivers with which it communicates. The following information may be gathered,
depending on your setting for the ALE Site Mgr:
•
•
•
It requests this information up to three times when the ALE Site Mgr entry is set to
Auto, and only Codan HF transceivers in which the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option
is installed can respond. The self addresses and related LQA information for a remote
transceiver is stored at one point in the LQA database of the local transceiver.
The ALE Site Mgr may be set as described in
