6-10 Outback HF Radiophone
Using selective call in scan mode
Selective call scanning ensures that you are only alerted when the incoming calls are
specifically addressed to you.
This facility also allows the Radiophone to store in memory the addresses of up to ten
stations that may have tried to contact the Radiophone whilst unattended. These
addresses may have been transmitted over any of the programmed channels.
The first eight channels of the scan are used for selective call scanning.
For networks using this facility, it is important for the calling station to transmit a
long preamble. For more details on selective calling, refer to section 5, Using
selective call.
Ensure your Radiophone is switched on before commencing this procedure.
