MICOM-2ES/2RS/2TS ALE Supplement to Owner’s Guide

Transmitting ALE Calls in the Channel Mode

The ALE option is available in both the ALE and Channel modes and therefore, the
radio can also answer ALE calls.
The transmission process is similar for both operating modes, with the following
differences:

•

In the Channel mode, every call is initiated on the currently selected channel.

•

The LQA function is not available in the Channel mode: sounding and
bidirectional calls can only be initiated in the ALE mode.

•

When the radio is in the Channel mode, it uses the parameters programmed for
net 1.

Important

If net 1 is not programmed, there is no ALE functionality in the
Channel mode, even if the ALE option is turned on.
