Making and receiving calls
198 Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual
For more information on the ALE address syntaxes you can use with a Selective call see
page 192, Summary of the special ALE address syntaxes.
Send Position call
If you want to send your GPS information to another station, make a Send Position call.
The 2110 series Manpack Transceiver uses an internal GPS receiver, but this may be
obscured from receiving GPS signals if the transceiver is installed in a vehicle. An
external GPS antenna may be connected to the optional GPS connector to provide GPS
signals to the transceiver. Alternatively, a GPS receiver may be connected to the 19-way
connector to provide GPS information to the transceiver.
If you have the FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the global
ALL address syntax (@?@) with the Send Position call type to send a position to a group
of stations using an ALE/CALM network. 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 Send Position call type to send a position to a group of
stations using an ALE/CALM network.
For more information on the ALE address syntaxes you can use with a Send Position call
see page 192, Summary of the special ALE address syntaxes.
Send Position calls are automatically answered by any receiving stations so an operator
is not required to take any action. If you send an ALE call using the Send Position call
type, the ALE link terminates immediately after the GPS position is sent. GPS positions
you send are stored in the Calls Out Log (see page 216, The Calls Out Log).
Group calls in a Codan Selcall network
Emergency, Message and Selective calls can be made to a group of stations
simultaneously by using a Codan Selcall network and a group address.
A group selcall address is an address that ends in two or more zeros. For example, to call
all stations with addresses that range from 1201 to 1299, you would enter 1200 as the
address. To call all stations with addresses that range from 150001 to 159999, you would
enter 150000 as the address.
NOTE
You can make a Send Position call if Option GPS Enable is installed, and
your GPS information is valid.
NOTE
The transceiver sends GPS information from either a connected and
configured GPS receiver, or from valid content in the My GPS entry in the
Address List.
NOTE
You can use any of the characters in the basic 38 ASCII subset (A to Z,
0 to 9, @ and ?) for the address.
