7.26 MAKING SELECTIVE CALLS
Selective calling is a feature that allows two radio units to obtain and utilize an independent voice path for
a private call. Radios can be configured to both initiate and receive selective calls or to only receive
selective calls.
In the OpenSky system, a source radio can be configured to initiate selective calls through a pre-
programmed list in memory. This method uses the “speed dial list” set up by the OpenSky network
administrator and provisioned as part of the registration process.
In addition, a properly equipped source radio can initiate a selective call to any radio in the system by
entering the ten-digit voice user ID (which looks like a telephone number) of the target device. Entering a
selective call number without using the speed dial feature requires a system model control head (Figure
7-1). See Section 7.13 for more detail.
Selective calls are terminated if an emergency is declared. The network limits selective
calls to ten (10) minutes maximum.
