GRP

Group call – call directed to a group of individually selected

38

 

stations. Groups can be preprogrammed, but you can also

 

 

select the stations to be called and save the selection for

 

 

reuse. Up to five groups can be defined.

 

ANY

AnyCall – call directed to all the other stations

41

 

simultaneously, usually used to detect new stations.

 

WILD

Wildcard call – call simultaneously addressed to a selected

44

 

group of stations within a net, with wildcards used within

 

 

the address to specify the desired stations. Wildcard calls

 

 

use the special ALE addressing modes. If you are not

 

 

familiar with these modes, you should review pages 7 to 11.

 

SELF

Self call – call using the station’s own address, generally

46

 

used for test purposes.

 

Transmitting AIICalls

An AllCall is a message which your radio uses to establish a connection with all the other stations simultaneously, and is typically used to broadcast a message or send a distress call. An AllCall can also include a message.

In addition to this type of AllCall (referred to as a global (GL) AllCall), it is also possible to use selective (SL) AllCall: this is a simultaneous call addressed only to all the stations whose names (addresses) end with a character you specify.

If so required, you can set your radio so that it cannot send

AIICalls.

Note

You cannot select the channel on which an outgoing AllCall will be sent: outgoing AIICalls are sent on the AllCall channel defined for the currently selected net, or on the best scanned channel of the net.

When radios in other nets have their MultiNet feature enabled,

AIICalls may also reach these radios. See details on page 11.

Note

There are two ways to send a global AllCall: using the ESC key or using the CALL function. A selective AllCall can be sent only using the CALL function.

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.
