Using Multiple Addresses For Calls In An Ale/Calm Hf Network - Codan Envoy Reference Manual

Using multiple addresses for calls in an
ALE/CALM HF network
When a call is made in an ALE/CALM HF network, LQA information is stored or
updated in the LQA database of the transceiver. If you make a call to a number of
addresses using automatic channel selection, you can use the syntax of the address to
determine how the LQA information is used, and also the outcome of the call.
If the self addresses of the called stations are separated by a colon, for example,
BOB:SAM or 1562:1569, the call is sent to the station on the channel that has the best
LQA data associated with it. If the attempt at the first address fails, then the call is sent
to the station on the channel with the next best LQA data, and so on.
If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed and the self addresses of
the called stations are separated by a semi-colon, for example, SAM;JOHN or
1569;1563, the call is sent to all stations simultaneously (as per a group call), but the
link is only established with the station that provided the best response.
The allowable length of the address at the called station is dependent on the length of
the self address used for the call by the calling station.
