Making a manual sounding operation in an ALE/CALM network
If you need to perform a manual sounding operation using the front panel, you make a
Channel Test call in an ALE/CALM network using the text SOUNDING as the address
of the called station. You can do this as part of a new call, or if you use this feature often,
set up an entry in the Address List, then use this entry to perform a sounding operation in
the selected network (see page 182, Creating an entry in the Address List). The sounding
operation updates the LQA database in transceivers that detect the sounding.
To make a manual sounding operation:
1 Press CALL.
1 Select Channel Test? as the call type, then press
*
to enter the text SOUNDING
as the address, then press CALL.
1 Select the ALE/CALM network in which you want to make the sounding, and if
scanning was switched off, the channel/mode on which you want to make the
sounding.
A sounding operation on all channels, or the specified channel, in the network is
performed.
NOTE
Manual sounding is available if you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE
option installed (2110 only).
