New ALE Features

Messages

The ALE enables you to create, send or receive alphanumeric messages (“paging” messages) in accordance with the AMD (Automatic Display Message) definition in Federal Standard FS-1045.

The messages are displayed on the receiving station LCD display, and can be up to 90 characters long. Messages can be added to any type of call, whether individual, group, net, AllCall, AnyCall, bidirectional handshake, etc. You can create up to 12 messages, and can edit or erase any of the messages at any time.

Using the Caller Stack

The caller stack is an internal memory that stores a list of unanswered calls. Each stack entry contains the self address of the calling station and a message (AMD) if any was sent. You can view the list, return a call and view any message sent with any call. The stack can contain up to 10 calls. The radio records an address in the stack only once even if the same caller makes repeated unanswered calls. However, if the same caller sent calls with different messages, all such calls will be saved in the stack. Each stack entry is referred to as a Page.

The appearance of the word STAK next to one of the function buttons of the LCD display indicates that there is at least one call in the stack. The STAK indicator is automatically turned off when all pages in the stack have been erased.

The stack is arranged in FIFO order, that is, the first address that enters the stack is also the first that you see on the display. If the stack is full and a new call is received, the oldest call in the stack is automatically erased.

For convenience, addresses appearing in the stack can be easily added to the ALE address directory.

Quick Call

During a call, the radio saves the latest destination information as the quick call information. When the user presses the PTT of the microphone or handset twice in rapid sequence, the radio automatically directs the call to that address.

In the ALE mode, channel information is also retained and used for quick calls.

Using ALE Functions in the Channel Mode

When the ALE mode is enabled, your radio can receive and transmit ALE calls even when you are using the Channel mode. For this purpose, the CALL (F1) key is displayed even in the Channel mode.

The only restriction is that in the Channel mode, MICOM 2 uses only the ALE parameters of net 1. Therefore, if net 1 is not programmed, no ALE functionality is available in the Channel mode, even when the ALE mode is enabled.

MICOM-2ES/2RS/2TS ALE specifications

Motorola MICOM-2ES/2RS/2TS ALE is a sophisticated communication system designed for critical and emergency communication applications. The system is part of Motorola’s esteemed MICOM range, known for its ruggedness and reliability in challenging environments. ALE, or Automatic Link Establishment, is a crucial feature of the MICOM series, enabling efficient and automated establishment of radio links between devices, which is essential for operations where timely communication is a matter of urgency.

One of the main features of the MICOM-2 series is its robust ALE capabilities, allowing operators to automatically find the best frequency for communication based on current conditions. This dynamic frequency selection not only enhances the reliability of the communication link but also minimizes the possibility of interference from other signals, which can be critical in emergency situations.

The MICOM-2ES, 2RS, and 2TS models feature advanced digital signal processing technologies that optimize audio clarity and reception. This ensures that communication remains clear even in noisy environments, which is a pivotal factor in emergency response scenarios. With a digital signal processor onboard, the system is capable of filtering out unwanted noise and enhancing the quality of the transmitted audio.

These models support multiple modes of operation, including both simplex and duplex communications. Such versatility allows users to adapt the system to various communication needs, augmenting its effectiveness in a range of operation scenarios. Furthermore, the MICOM-2 series is compatible with various antenna configurations, enhancing the operational range and flexibility of the system.

User-friendliness is another hallmark of the MICOM-2ES/2RS/2TS ALE systems, as they feature an intuitive user interface that simplifies operation, allowing for quick and efficient communication in high-pressure situations. Emergency responders and military personnel benefit greatly from such ease of use, leading to faster response times and improved overall coordination.

Additionally, the robustness of the Motorola MICOM-2 series ensures that it can withstand extreme environmental conditions. The units are designed to operate in harsh weather and rugged terrains, making them ideal for outdoor usage in emergency or military applications. All these features combined make the Motorola MICOM-2ES/2RS/2TS ALE a reliable choice for organizations that require high-performance communication solutions in demanding conditions.
