CALL TYPES AND FEATURES
CALL TYPES
ENVOY™ TRANSCEIVER REFERENCE MANUAL 437
Get Position call
NOTE: You can make a Get Position call if the GPS Call option is installed.
NOTE: The success of your Get Position call depends upon the value selected
in the Respond GPS entry in the transceiver that you are polling and
the privacy mode of the HF network that you are using for the call.
NOTE: If you send a Get Position call in an Open Selcall HF network, the
transceiver you are polling must have the Respond GPS entry set to
Always respond.
If you want to obtain the GPS position of a specific station that has the GPS Call
option installed and has valid GPS information, make a Get Position call to that
station. Get Position calls are automatically answered by the called station so an
operator is not required to process the return call.
NOTE: The transceiver uses GPS information from either a connected GPS
receiver (selected as a peripheral device), or from valid content in
Settings > GPS > My Position.
NOTE: When GPS information is sent via a Selcall HF network, the altitude is
shown as --.
The information you receive from a Get Position call is displayed on the screen as it
is received and is stored in the Call History.

Get Status call
NOTE: The success of your Get Status call depends upon the value selected in
the Respond OTA entry in the transceiver you are polling and the
privacy mode of the HF network that you are using for the call.
NOTE: If you send a Get Status call in an Open Selcall HF network, the
transceiver you are polling must have the Respond OTA entry set to
Always respond.
If you want to obtain information on the status of a transceiver at a specific station,
such as the power output of the transmitter or the firmware versions installed, make a
Get Status call to that station. Get Status calls are automatically answered by the called
station so an operator is not required to process the return call.
The information you receive from a Get Status call is displayed on the screen as it is
received and is stored in the Call History.
