Special Feature SELECTIVE CALLING Selective Calling (SELCALL) is a special Sequential Tone Squelch System that allows the user to receive/transmit calls selectively fromlto an individual or a group, on a shared busy channel. The Sundowner UH-O57 has Selective Calling (SELCALL) system specially built-in. With exceptional features like Receiver Quiet[...]

r- SELCALL OPERATION Receiver Quieting Puts the receiver on "Quiet" Mode (also known as "Tone Squelch" Mode). When enabled, the radio prevents any unwanted conversations in the channel from being heard unless the call is specifically directed to you and the required SELCALL ID to open the "Quiet" condition is received.[...]

When a call is received... While on TSO Condition, when UH-057 receives a code matching your SELCALL ID, it will do the following opera- tion. 1. Automatically responds to the caller by transmitting Acknowledge tones. 2. Informs you that a caller is on the channel by emitting a CALL ALARM (three successive tones in a regular interval for 10 seconds[...]

~ When a call is received while TSQ Scanning, UH-057 follows the same response as receiving a call on a Tone Squelch Channel. It differs only on the following. 1. If the call is not answered within the 20 second period, TSQ Scanning resumes. CAL indicator remains on the LCD. To look for the channel where CALL is received: UP a. Cancel TSQ Scanning [...]

-.. ..----- Tone Calling Tone calling enables you to selectively call other radios. To do this, the SELCALL ID of the radio you are going to call should be in the Transmitters SELCALL ID memory (please see Programming Method on page 28). To Call: 1.
