Wildcard call An ALE address syntax used to broadcast to any station that is
tuned to the same frequency in an ALE/CALM network, or
scanning the network. The Wildcard address syntax, which ALE
stations recognise, uses the wildcard character ? as a placeholder
for characters within a self address of a receiving station.
A multiple Wildcard call uses multiple wildcard addresses in the
one call. Stations with matching addresses respond to the call.
The Wildcard address syntax may be used in Emergency,
Message, Phone, Selective, and Send Position calls if the MIL-
STD-188-141B ALE option is installed (2110 only).
