4-32 HF SSB transceiver user guide

Status call

A status call enables you to obtain information about a

remote transceiver or control equipment connected to it

without assistance from the operator at the remote station.

There are three types of status call:

• type 1: remote diagnostics call—obtains diagnostic

measurements of the remote transceiver

• type 2: remote config call—obtains some configuration

details of the remote transceiver

• type 3: user status call—controls equipment at the remote

station by sending commands that the remote transceiver

automatically passes on to connected equipment.

The remote transceiver responds to your status call by

sending back the requested information. This information is

recorded in your call memory for you to review.

Expect a longer delay for a remote diagnostics call since the

remote transceiver must take several measurements before it

can send the reply.

A transceiver receiving a status call does not record the call

or alert the operator.

If the station you are calling has set up a privacy key, you

will need to set up the same privacy key in your transceiver to

be able to receive status information from this station.
