Technical information

10. Press the ENT key. The associated self is displayed.
11. Select the self address to use when calling this address. This is
the address that this radio uses to identify itself to the other
radios when the group call is placed from this radio.
12. Press the ENT key. The response time is displayed.
13. The response time is programmed in intervals of Triple Word
(TW) which is 130.67 msec. The default response time is 30 and
this should be long enough for all units except those that must
perform a tune before they transmit a response. Set this time for
the maximum time it should take the called radio to respond to an
ALE call.
14. Press the ENT key. The group member list is displayed.
15. This parameter has two cursorable fields, a slot index and an
address field.
16. Move the cursor to the address field. This field also has one
special identifier, “end-list” that marks the end of the list.
17. Select the address used in this slot of the group.
18. Press the ENT key. The next slot is displayed. Repeat step 17
and 18 until all members of the group are entered.
19. Repeat steps 2 through 17 for additional addresses.
Programming a Special Address Type
There are three additional address types, “AllCall”, “AnyCall” and
“Wildcard”. These types are programmed under the SINGLE type.
These call types require some ALE expertise for proper utilization.
Note: The operator must choose the channel that these type of calls
are placed on.
All Call Allows a message or call to be broadcast to
multiple stations without requiring a
response from them. The generic type of All
Call is “@?@”. This type of address calls
any radio that hears this call and does not
have All Calls disabled. Replace the ? with
a letter for example @A@. This is a
selective All Call and will call any radio with
a self address that ends with A.
