About this manual
8 Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual
Group Selective call An ALE call that is sent to stations specifically addressed in the
call that are tuned to the same frequency in an ALE/CALM
network, or scanning the network.
The Group Selective call may be used in Emergency, Message,
Phone, Selective, and Send Position calls if the MIL-STD-188-
141B ALE option is installed (2110 only).
hot key A key on the front panel that is pre-programmed with a macro
that enables you to perform a task quickly.
Last Heard Log A log of the last 100 on-air transmissions detected by the current
station. The information gathered from each transmission
includes the self address of the heard station, the time/date of the
transmission, and the channel/mode used for the transmission.
The Last Heard Log is available if the MIL-STD-188-141B
ALE option is installed (2110 only).
link A link is established following a 3-way handshake process.
Scanning is off and a timeout, set using the Cfg In Call Timeout
entry in the Control List, is active.
With ALL calls and NET calls that are set to link immediately,
the link establishment process is 1-way.
listen before transmit
(LBT)
The automatic process that the transceiver uses to detect
whether or not there is traffic on a channel and, when necessary,
select another channel or inform the user that the channel is
busy.
LQA beacon A Channel Test call that is made in an ALE/CALM network
using a Group Selective or NET address syntax. The LQA
beacon tests all channels within the network to determine the
best channel according to local and remote BER and SINAD
measurements. On completion of the beacon, the information
collected replaces the information for the channel stored in the
LQA database. It is sometimes referred to as an ALE beacon.
The LQA beacon is available if the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE
option is installed (2110 only).
macro A short set of instructions to automate a task you perform with
the transceiver. When a macro is assigned to a key, the key
becomes a hot key.
manual sounding A Channel Test call that is made in an ALE/CALM network
using the text SOUNDING as the call address. The station
performs a sounding operation, 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).
Message call A call that enables you to send a message to a specific station.
