5.Press SELF (F2) to start the self-call.

6.You may select now a specific channel to perform the call, by pressing CHAN (F1). See details on page 27.

7.When ready, press SEND (F1) to start transmitting. The display alternates between your self-address and the channel used for the call is sent. If you did not select a specific channel, the channel number changes as the radio sends the call on each channel assigned to the selected net.

After all the channels have been used, the call automatically stops.

You can press STOP (F1) at any time to end the call sooner.

A bidirectional handshake can be carried out with a single station or with all stations in the net. It can be carried out either on a single channel, or on all the net channels. When required, a message can also be added to the procedure.

After a bidirectional handshake with a single station, the LQA matrices of both radios are updated. The operator can then initiate a call to that station and obtain the best channel automatically.

When the bidirectional handshake procedure is performed with a net, all the stations in the net update their LQA tables.

MICOM-2 will wait for responses for a certain time before entering the link state with all the stations that responded within this interval (the maximum number of stations that are accepted in a bidirectional handshake is 16).

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.
