If enabled, 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 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.
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 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.
Message call A call that enables you to send a message to a specific station.
mode A type of reception or transmission you can use with a channel,
comprising a sideband and an IF filter.
NET call An ALE address syntax that is used to send a call from one
station to other stations that have the NET programmed in the
NET List. If these stations have their self address in the Member
Address setting they are members of this NET.
The NET address syntax may be used in Emergency, Message,
Phone, Selective, and Send Position calls if the MIL-STD-188-
141B ALE option is installed.
