IDENT OR ALPHA NAME

SelCall Idents stored in memory can be allocated a 5 letter ‘Alpha’ name. The name is stored into
memory along with the SelCall Ident. If an incoming SelCall matches one of those in your radio’s
memory, your radio can be set to display the name instead of the Ident. This makes for easier
identification of the calling radio.

Alpha Name

To switch between the Ident and Alpha modes briefly press the

key followed by the Squelch key.

A high beep indicates the Ident mode is selected while a low beep means the Alpha mode is selected.

NOTE:

If the selected Ident has not been named, ‘-- -- -- -- --‘ will be displayed while in Alpha mode.

IMPORTANT: Before entering a SelCall Ident, your radio must be in the Ident mode. If your radio
displays text instead of numbers, it is in the Alpha mode – briefly press the

Squelch

If your SelCall transmission was successful, the radio you called should respond with a call-acknowledge

user to your signal. If the call-acknowledge is not received the other radio may be out of range or on a
different channel.
