ALE COMMON PARAMETERS

for the ALE (Automatic Link Establishment) system
of the radio. The ALE system allows the radio to se-
lect the channel with the best LQA (Link Quality
Analysis) score from the programmed channels.
Put a check mark into the check box to enable ad-
justment of its parameters from the transceiver's set
("menu") mode.
The available parameters are ALE, Alert Tone, Auto
Address, External Alert, Link TOT, Minimum LQA
Score, PTT Time Out, and Net Number.

This parameter selects whether the ALE System
shall be "Enabled (ON)" or "Disabled (OFF)".

riod once the ALE link is established.
