ALE Programming

ALE Options Configuration

This menu enables you to configure the following ALE options:

PTOT PTT Timeout: the time (in minutes) which elapses between the moment you release the PTT button, until the ALE disconnects the link. The allowed range is 1 to 10 minutes.

EXAL

ALRT

External Alarm: activate/deactivate the radio external alarm when a call is received.

Alert tone: enable/disable the generation of an alert tone whenever a link is established.

TOT Accept Link Time-out Time: the radio can be configured to disconnect the link automatically if neither the PTT, nor any other key is pressed within 30 seconds from the reception of a call. If Accept Link TOT is set to NO, the received call is accepted immediately and automatically.

MLQA

QCAL

Minimum LQA Score: determines the minimum acceptable LQA (Link Quality Analysis) score allowed when trying to establish a link on a specific channel.

If the minimum score is not achieved when the radio attempts to establish a link in the ALE mode, the radio will try to establish a link on the scanned channel with the next best LQA score. At the end of this process, a link will be established on the scan channel with the best LQA score. If the call is made on a specific channel, the radio ignores the minimum LQA score check.

The allowed range of LQA scores is 0 to 100%. When selecting the minimum LQA score, remember that in accordance with the ALE standards, the maximum LQA score (assigned for receiving an optimum sounding is 70%), and the minimum score is 30%. The score given to a station that did not send any sounding or a station whose sounding has not been received is also 30%.

Quick Call: enable/disable initiating a call to the last called address by pressing the MIC PTT button twice in rapid sequence (double pressing).

AADR Automatic address: enable/disable automatically adding the source addresses of incoming calls to the ALE directory.

If the directory is full, new addresses will not be added.

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.
