ALE Accept Wildcard Call
NOTE: The ALE Accept Wildcard Call entry is available if you have the
MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed.
The ALE Accept Wildcard Call entry sets whether or not your transceiver accepts
and responds to Wildcard calls that it detects.
Wildcard calls are not addressed to a specific station. If your station detects a call with
a matching Wildcard address syntax, it sends a response in a random slot to the calling
station. Your station enters a link when it receives an acknowledgement from the
calling station. If you do not want to receive Wildcard calls, disable this feature.
Default value: Enabled

ALE AMD Position
NOTE: The ALE AMD Position entry is available if you have the
MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed.
The ALE AMD Position entry sets the position in which the transceiver transmits
AMD information.
For:
• compatibility with other transceivers, select Leading
• the shortest possible call duration, select Auto
Default value: Auto
With ALE calling, the transceiver may cycle through several channels before a link is
established. If you select Leading, the AMD information is always positioned in the
leading part of the call. The data is transmitted prior to any response from the called
station. If the transceiver abandons this channel and moves to the next best channel, it
sends the AMD information again prior to any response being received.
NOTE: The leading position is required for interoperability with older Codan
HF transceivers, and may be required for interoperability with
transceivers from other vendors.
If you select Auto, the transceiver determines the best position for the AMD
information in the call. It may move the AMD information from the leading part of
the call, sending it after a response is received from the other station. Auto is the
recommended value.
NOTE: When the Auto value is selected, the HF networks used to make the
call must have the privacy mode set to Plain.
