Sending calls

4-20 HF SSB transceiver user guide

Page call

A page call sends a text message. It allows you to leave a

message at another station.

The message can be up to 64 characters.

You can:

• enter the message when you send the call

• prepare and store up to three canned messages ready for

sending (refer to the HF SSB transceiver reference

manual, Chapter 7, Page call canned message setup).

If you want to make sure that only the station you are calling

receives your message, use the transceiver’s call privacy

feature. By setting up a privacy key, you limit the stations

that can read your message to those stations using the same

privacy key.

You can send page calls simultaneously to a range of stations

by group calling.

Before you can send a page call, you need to:

• decide whether you want to use a privacy key (refer to

the HF SSB transceiver reference manual, Chapter 5,

Call privacy on/off)

• decide whether you want to prepare the message in

advance. Refer to the HF SSB transceiver reference

manual, Chapter 7, Page call canned message setup, for

information about preparing and storing canned messages

• set up your address (refer to the HF SSB transceiver

reference manual, Chapter 8, Selcall address setup)

• set up a channel for selcalling (refer to the HF SSB

transceiver reference manual, Chapter 3, Channel

creation and editing).
