BARRETT PRC-4090 TACTICAL HF SDR TRANSCEIVER - SELCALL
Telcall
Sending a Telcall
Telcall uses the digital Selective Call system to send a telephone number on an
HF network. Telcalls are primarily used to send to stations equipped with a tele-
phone interconnect unit to initiate phone calls onto the PSTN.
Note: For Selcall and Telcall functions to operate the channel must be enabled for
Selcall operation.
1. Select the channel to send the Telcall
on. This will be the channel provided
by your network administrator to
contact the interconnect.
2. Press
and, if nessecary, press the
icon to show the Call Selection
screen.
3. Either:
• Select Telcall, enter the selcall ID
of the interconnect, select Enter
phone number, enter the phone
number manually and press Enter,
or
• Choose a contact from the Contacts icon
and then select Telcall.
Enter the Selcall ID of the Interchange, choose Select from Contact and
select contact.
4. Wait for the call to be sent and listen for the revertive signal that indicates
the call was successful.
• If a revertive tone is not heard try another channel and repeat the
process.
• If the destination station is connected to a telephone interconnect,
when the call is successful, wait for the telephone connection to be
made and then proceed with the call.
5. Perform a Hangup Call to disconnect from the interconnect (refer to page
55 for more information on Hangup Calls).
