Selective call (where fitted)
Selective call (where fitted)
Selective calling simplifies calling stations. Each transceiver
has its own address rather like a telephone number. You call a
station by specifying its address. If the station is unattended,
your call details are automatically recorded. Selective calling
saves you from having to listen to noise when waiting for a
call.

Selective calls consist of ALE calls, beacon calls, GPS calls,
page calls, selcalls, status calls and telcalls. Selcall is the
basic type of selective call for voice communication.
Selective calls consist of ALE calls, beacon calls, GPS calls,
page calls, selcalls, status calls and telcalls. Selcall is the
basic type of selective call for voice communication.
GPS position calls, page calls and selcalls allow you to call a
range of stations simultaneously by group calling. This is
useful for base stations wanting to contact all mobile stations
or for starting a conference discussion between several
stations.
GPS position calls, page calls and selcalls allow you to call a
range of stations simultaneously by group calling. This is
useful for base stations wanting to contact all mobile stations
or for starting a conference discussion between several
stations.
To change the call to a group call, you end the address with
00. All stations with matching addresses, excluding the last
two digits, will receive your call. For example, a call to
123400 will be received by all stations with addresses in the
range 123401–123498.

more than one channel frequency. This is useful if you expect
to receive calls from several stations or from stations that
transmit on more than one frequency.

An Automatic Link Establishment call (ALE) automatically
selects the best channel to use for sending a call. This removes
the need to send selective beacon calls on different channels to
find the best channel to communicate on.
When you send an ALE call, the ALE controller selects the
best frequency from a preset list of channels and attempts to
establish a link with the other station on that channel. If it
fails, it selects the next best channel and tries again. This
process repeats until a link is established or there are no more
channels to try.

ALE calls allow you to use both numeric and alphanumeric
station addresses. A numeric address is a 6-digit number or
less. An alphanumeric address is either a number greater than
six digits or an address containing one or more of the
characters ‘A–Z’, ‘@’ and ‘?’. Maximum length is 15
characters.

This section describes how to use your transceiver to transmit
and receive telephone calls through the Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN) and covers operation of the

(RDD) telcall service.
This section describes how to use your transceiver to transmit

In a telcall, you can call a station that is capable of
connecting you to the PSTN. Your transceiver sends the
telephone number you want to call and the receiving station
automatically transcribes the call, via a suitable controlling
interface to the telephone network, which calls the number
you want.
