Making and receiving calls
Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual 195
You can also test channels once you have started a call (for more information see
page 205, Replacing LQA information as part of a call in an ALE/CALM network).
Emergency call
If you want to trigger an emergency alert tone at a particular station and speak with an
operator, make an Emergency call. If Option GPS Enable is installed in the transceiver
(and you have connected and configured a GPS receiver), your GPS position is
automatically sent with the call. Emergency calls can be sent to several stations at once
(see page 174, Setting up the emergency key and page 198, Group calls in a Codan
Selcall network).
If you have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the global
ALL address syntax (@?@) with the Emergency call type to send a call to all stations
using an ALE/CALM network and common channels. If you have the MIL-STD-188-
141B ALE option installed (2110 only), you can use the ALL, ANY, Group Selective,
NET, or Wildcard address syntax with the Emergency call type to send a call to a group
of stations using an ALE/CALM network.
For more information on the ALE address syntaxes you can use with an Emergency call
see page 192, Summary of the special ALE address syntaxes.
Get Position call
If you want to obtain the GPS position of a specific station that has Option GPS Enable
installed and has valid GPS information, make a Get Position call to that station. Get
Position calls are automatically answered by the receiving station so an operator is not
required to process the return call.
The information you receive from a Get Position call is displayed on the screen as it is
received, if permitted, and is stored in the Calls In Log (see page 221, The Calls In Log).
NOTE
You can use any of the characters in the basic 38 ASCII subset (A to Z,
0 to 9, @ and ?) for the address.
NOTE You can make a Get Position call if Option GPS Enable is installed.
NOTE
The success of your Get Position call depends upon the setting in the
Cfg Respond GPS entry in the Control List of the transceiver you are
polling and the privacy mode of the network you are using for the call (see
page 234, Cfg Respond GPS).
NOTE
If you send a Get Position call in an Open Selcall network, the transceiver
you are polling must have the Cfg Respond GPS entry in the Control List
set to Always respond.
NOTE
The transceiver uses GPS information from either a connected and
configured GPS receiver, or from valid content in the My GPS entry in the
Address List.
