Sending calls
Selcall (option)
A selcall (selective call) allows you to selectively call a
station by its self ID prior to voice communication.
Before you can send a selcall, you need to:
• enable the selcall option (refer to the 9390 Reference
manual, Chapter 7, Password entry to enable transceiver
options)
• set up your self ID (refer to the 9390 Reference manual,
Chapter 8, Selcall ID setup)
• set up a channel for selcalling (refer to the 9390 Reference
manual, Chapter 3, Channel creation and editing).
Specifying 99 for the last two digits of the station you are
calling changes the selcall to a 99-beacon call (refer to the
9390 Reference manual, Chapter 8, 99-beacon call response
on/off). Any station with a selcall ID that matches your calling
ID, excluding the last two 99 digits, will respond. You can
use 99-beacon calls instead of selective beacon calls to find
the best channel to communicate on.
