The address types :
SELF Address this radio will respond to.
SINGLE Address for a single ALE station.
StarNET Star network of addresses that must be programmed into
all stations prior to using it.
GROUP Group of addresses put together after the database is
entered.
The self addresses are kept in a separate area of the database from
all of the other address types. Because of this changing to or from
the self address type causes the address displayed on the second
line to change. When the address type is changed from self to any of
the other types, the address changes to the first address in the other
address area of the selected type. If no address of the specified type
is found then the first empty address slot is displayed. Similarly if the
address type is changed from any other address type to the self type,
the address changes to the first self address in the database.
Changing the address type between SINGLE, StarNET and GROUP
does not cause a change to the displayed address. As these types
are selected the address displayed is temporarily changed to the
selected type. This change is temporary until the ENT key is pushed.
The number and type of parameters varies between the four address
types. The section below describes the parameters and the format of
the second line for each address type.
All parameters that can appear on the second line are identified and
explained here.
• address ALE address
An ALE address can contain up to 15 characters.
The address can be thought of as the call sign for an ALE
capable radio.
• ChanGroup: Channel group
A channel group is a list of ALE channels. The channel
group designates which channels an ALE address is valid
on. The channel group value can also be set to “ALL” which
means that the address is valid on all channels. Normally
self addresses are set to ALL. Other address types will
have a designated channel group.
