completion of the beacon, the information
collected replaces the information for the

sometimes referred to as an ALE beacon.
The LQA beacon is available if the MIL-
STD-188-141B ALE option is installed
(2110 only).

you perform with the transceiver. When a

a hot key.

which other stations use to update the
information in their LQA database.
Manual sounding is available if the MIL-
STD-188-141B ALE option is installed
(2110 only).
