Repeat the procedure described above until the group
includes only the desired stations.
As you scroll through the directory, you will see DIR for
stations that can be added, and ADDED for those
already added. If the station you want to add to the
group is not in the directory:
!"
Enter the new station using the keypad. If you
make a mistake, scroll to the desired position
using

the whole entry and start again.

Transmitting AnyCalls
An AnyCall is a general broadcast which your radio uses to simultaneously establish links with other
stations. An AnyCall can also include a message.
Note
If so required, you can set your radio so that it cannot send AnyCalls.
AnyCall is somewhat similar to AllCall, except that it requests responses from the other stations and
therefore it can be used to detect new stations. Another difference is that you can also select the
channel on which the AnyCall will be transmitted (alternatively, you can let the radio select
automatically the channel).
Note
When radios in other nets have their MultiNet feature enabled, AnyCalls may also
reach these radios. See details on page 41.
You can send three types of AnyCalls (see also description of addressing modes on pages 37 to 41):
•
General: the address sent by your radio is
@@?
. This is a simultaneous call addressed to all the
stations.
•
Selective: you specify the last character of the address. This is a simultaneous call addressed only
to the stations whose names (addresses) end with a character you specify.
•
Double selective: similar to selective, except that you specify the last two characters of the
address.
To make an AnyCall, first you must select the address to be used for the call.
MICOM-3 will wait for responses for a certain time before entering the link state with all the stations
that responded within this interval (the maximum number of stations that are accepted in an AnyCall
is 16).
