the ALE operating instructions appearing in this Supplement.

The MICOM 2 supports the following types of ALE calls in accordance with MIL-STD-188-141B:

•Individual call – call directed to a specific station.

•Net call – call directed to a net (a net is a preprogrammed group of stations).

•Group call – call directed to a group of stations.

•AllCall – call directed to all other stations simultaneously (broadcast call); can also be used as a distress call.

•AnyCall – call directed to all other stations simultaneously, usually used to detect new stations.

•Wildcard call – call simultaneously addressed to a selected group of stations within a net, with wildcards used within the address to specify the desired stations. For efficient use of wildcards, an appropriate station naming plan must be in place.

•Self call – call using the station’s own address, generally used for test purposes.

•Bidirectional call – request for updating the LQA score with another station or stations.

•Sounding call – used to build a link quality database. This database stores ongoing information on the current quality of the various channels programmed for use by your radio.

All types of calls, except for sounding calls, can also carry messages.

 

 

 

 

 

MICOM 2 also supports the MultiNet feature. When this feature is

nets (up to 20). See details on page 12.

Note

 

During ALE calls, a link is established between the stations participating in the call. During the link state, the radio operators have various options, many of them similar to the options available in the channel mode. For a description of the link options, see pages 19 to 23.

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.
