ENVOY™ TRANSCEIVER REFERENCE MANUAL 441
If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option installed and the ALE Selective
Message entry set to Enabled, you are able to send a message with the call. You
are prompted to attach a message when you send the call. You must use an
ALE/CALM HF network to make the call.

Send Position call
NOTE: You can make a Send Position call if the GPS Call option is installed,
and your GPS information is valid.
If you want to send your GPS information to another station, make a Send Position
call.
NOTE: The transceiver sends 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 --.
Send Position calls can be made to several stations at once. If you have the
FED-STD-1045 ALE/CALM option installed, you can use the global ALL address
syntax (@?@) with the Send Position call type to send a position to a group of stations
using an ALE/CALM HF network. If you have the MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option
installed, you can use the ALL, ANY, Group Selective, NET, or Wildcard address
syntax with the Send Position call type to send a position to a group of stations using
an ALE/CALM HF network.
Send Position calls are automatically answered by any called stations so an operator
is not required to take any action. If you make a Send Position call, the link terminates
immediately after the GPS position is sent. GPS positions you send are stored in the
Call History.
