Receiving an AllCall:
NOTE
You can program your radio to ignore incoming AllCalls. If the radio is
set to ignore incoming AllCalls, it stops scanning when an AllCall is
received but it does not display, nor lets you hear the call. At the end
of the AllCall, the radio automatically returns to the scanning mode.
When an AllCall is received, the display flashes an AllCall alert that alternates ALLCALL with the
calling station name.
Receiving an AnyCall:
NOTE
You can program your radio to ignore incoming AnyCalls. If the radio
is set to ignore incoming AnyCalls, it stops scanning when an AnyCall
is received but it does not display, nor lets you hear the call. At the
end of the AnyCall, the radio automatically returns to the scanning
mode.
When an AnyCall is received, the display flashes an AllCall alert that alternates ANYCALL with the
calling station name.
Receiving a sounding call:
When the radio is in the ALE mode and it receives a sounding call from another station, the calling
station name appears in the display, preceded by the letter S to identify that the call is a sounding call.
Within a few seconds, the radio automatically returns to the mode used before the call was received.
Receiving a bidirectional handshake call:
When the radio receives a bidirectional handshake call from another station, your radio responds
automatically, without your intervention. Within a few seconds, the radio automatically returns to the
mode used before the call was received.
If the bidirectional handshake includes a message, the calling station name and the received message
are stored in the stack, and the STAK function key appears.
To answer an incoming call:
Press any key (including PTT, but not ESC) to accept the call. The calling station name stops blinking,
and is displayed steadily. The alert tone is no longer heard. The radio is now in the link state with the
calling station.
NOTE
When an AllCall is received, no link is actually established but you can
hear the calling station.
If the received call includes a message, an exclamation mark precedes the station name, and the name
is followed by a colon and the message.
If the calling station name and message are too long and do not fit in the display, press <
< <
< − >
− >− >

the View mode, where you can scroll right and left to display the whole message.
To display LQA for the received call:
Press LQA. You will see the channel in use, and its LQA score.
