Setting the Net Options

ALE Programming

Use this menu to configure net options. The following sections explain the purpose of the net options. For detailed instructions, refer to Part II of this manual.

• SOND Sounding Parameters: define the interval (in minutes) at which automatic sounding is performed (30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes), or define sounding as a manual function. See Sounding on page 50 for a detailed explanation on the sounding process.

•SLNT

•LQAR

Silent Mode: select whether the net is in the silent mode, which means that members in the net can initiate calls but not allowed to respond to an ALE transmission.

LQA Reports: select whether your radio will ask the called station for a report on the quality of the communication every time a call is initiated.

•	SCN	Scan Rate: select the number of channels scanned each second when
		the radio is in ALE mode: can be set to 2 or 5 channels per second.
•	HACK	Home Acknowledgment: enable/disable home acknowledgment.
		When enabled, the radio transmits an end-of-call indication to the
		remote station.
•	MACK	Monitor Acknowledgment: enable/disable monitor
		acknowledgment. When enabled, the radio transmits an accept call
		indication to the station that initiated the call.

•OCUP

•M/S

Occupancy Check: enable/disable the occupancy check. The occupancy check defines whether the radio uses the speech detect mechanism to determine whether a channel on which a call is about to be made is occupied. If this option is ON, a call cannot be initiated on a channel determined to be occupied. This option can be operated in addition to the ALE signal detection mechanism.

You can select the interval at which occupancy checks are made (300 to 3000 msec, in 300-msec increments).

Master/Slave: select whether your radio serves as a master or slave in the current ALE network. Only a master station can initiate a Net Call.

• ALLC	AIICall Settings: this option determines whether the ALE is able to
	receive and/or send AllCalls.
	An AIICall is an ALE broadcast transmission. All stations receiving
	an AIICall are linked to the sender, even if they do not recognize the
	sender’s address. If no AIICall channel is defined, the call will be
	made on the best channel in the net.

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.
