Alebeacon Command - Codan 2110 series Reference Manual

alebeacon command

If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed, you can use the alebeacon
command to replace the LQA information for an ALE/CALM network. The command
sends a request to the addressed stations you want to call on a specific channel
(thischan), or all channels, in the selected network. The receiving stations
automatically respond with LQA information.
To replace LQA information for a specific channel, pause scanning, select the channel,
then make the beacon, including the call option thischan with the command. To test
all channels in an ALE/CALM network, perform the beacon while scanning is on.
