Receiving calls
Voice and tone calls are basic calls. No message is output on
the display. You need to respond to these calls immediately
as they are not recorded in call memory.
ALE calls, beacon calls, emergency selcalls, GPS calls, page
calls, selcalls, status calls and telcalls are all types of
selective call. To find out which types of selective call you
can send and receive, see the front of this guide for the list of
transceiver options fitted to your transceiver.
When you receive a selective call, the transceiver:
• outputs a message on the display
• generates an audio alarm for 30 seconds
• operates an external alarm facility
• stores details of the call in call memory.
To receive a call, the transceiver must be set to the same
frequency of the caller or be scanning this frequency (see
Chapter 3, Scanning for incoming calls). Remember that
stations often transmit on different frequencies throughout the
day as channel conditions vary.
The table below shows you how you can recognise the type
of call you have received.
