4-4.5 ALE Options Configuration
This menu enables you to configure the following ALE options:
Option Description
PTOT
PTT Timeout: the time (in minutes) which elapses between the moment you release the
PTT button, until the ALE disconnects the link. The allowed range is 1 to 10 minutes.
EXAL
External Alarm: activate/deactivate the radio external alarm when a call is received.
ALRT
Alert tone: enable/disable the generation of an alert tone whenever a link is established.
TOT
Accept Link Time-out Time: the radio can be configured to disconnect the link
automatically if neither the PTT, nor any other key is pressed within 30 seconds from the
reception of a call. If Accept Link TOT is set to NO, the received call is accepted
immediately and automatically.
MLQA
Minimum LQA Score: determines the minimum acceptable LQA (Link Quality Analysis)
score allowed when trying to establish a link on a specific channel.
If the minimum score is not achieved when the radio attempts to establish a link in the
ALE mode, the radio will try to establish a link on the scanned channel with the next best
LQA score. At the end of this process, a link will be established on the scan channel with
the best LQA score. If the call is made on a specific channel, the radio ignores the
minimum LQA score check.
The allowed range of LQA scores is 0 to 100%. When selecting the minimum LQA score,
remember that in accordance with the ALE standards, the maximum LQA score
(assigned for receiving an optimum sounding is 70%), and the minimum score is 30%.
The score given to a station that did not send any sounding or a station whose sounding
has not been received is also 30%.
QCAL
Quick Call: enable/disable initiating a call to the last called address by pressing the MIC
PTT button twice in rapid sequence (double pressing).
AADR
Automatic address: enable/disable automatically adding the source addresses of
incoming calls to the ALE directory.
NOTE
If the directory is full, new addresses will not be added.
MxCH
Maximum Scan Channels: this parameter is used to adapt the duration of the calling
signal to the total number of scanned NET, to ensure that communications are not
disrupted. You can select between automatic selection, or select a value in the range of 0
to 59 seconds.
ANY
AnyCall: enable/disable the sending AnyCalls.
WILD
Wildcard: enable/disable the sending wildcard calls.
AMD
Automatic Message Display: enable/disable the sending AMD messages.
ILNK
Inlink: enable/disable the inlink facility, which enables notifying other call participants
when each participant disconnects from the link. All participants must be programmed to
use the same selection (either YES or NO).
Do not enable the inlink function when communicating with a radio that does not support
the full ALE capabilities in accordance with MIL-STD-188-141B.
