About networks
A network is two or more stations that use the same frequencies and call system to
communicate. This simplifies communication because each station knows the method
with which they can make and scan for incoming calls, and the frequencies they can use.
Information about the networks you may use is stored in the Network List.
Networks are based on call systems. A call system is a method of making and receiving
calls. For example, if you are in a network that uses the Codan Selcall or Open Selcall
call system, you make calls by entering the address of the station you want to call, then
selecting the channel/mode you want to use. When your call is detected by the receiving
station, that station rings to alert the operator. In an ALE/CALM network, you make calls
by entering the address of the station you want to call. The transceiver selects the best
channel on which to make the call.
When you create a network, the transceiver prompts you to select a call system, then
prompts you for further information based on your selection. Figure 30 shows an
example of the information required to create networks based on the Codan Selcall,
Open Selcall, ALE/CALM, and Voice Only call systems. This information is explained
on page 144, Settings in the Network List.
NOTE
The call systems from which you can select depend on the options
installed in the transceiver.
