Outback HF Radiophone 10-7
Transmitting a Telstra (OTC) selective call—Selcall
This procedure explains how to contact a Telstra station selectively to initiate a
telephone call through the Telstra Radphone operator using the ‘Radphone Selcall’
and ‘Radphone’ services.
Registered users of the ‘Radphone Direct Dial’ service will receive a separate user
guide detailing the operating requirements of that service.
It is assumed your Radiophone has been programmed with your self-identification
number issued by Telstra Customer Service Centre.
Ensure your Radiophone is switched on before commencing this operation and the
antenna is tuned on the selected monitored (selcall) channel, refer to Tuning the
antenna in section 4.
Before making a telephone call, it is often beneficial to make a beacon call to assess
the best channel to use. Refer to Transmitting a Telstra selective beacon call on page
10-10.
