ICAO SELCAL
ICAO selective calling was initially defined in 1985 using twelve tones (Tones "A" to "M", but without tone
"I"). In 1994 the ICAO calling system, also known as ANNEX10, was extended with the additional tones
"P", "Q", "R" and "S" and now operates with 16 tones.

The allocation of selective call addresses is exclusively managed by Aeronautical Radio, Inc. ARINC (ICAO
Designator Selcal Registry).
Each address consists of two pairs of tones, e.g. "AB-CD". Both pairs have a duration of 1,000 ms. Be-
tween each pair an interval of 200 ms is inserted. ICAO Selcal is used on all frequency bands (HF and
VHF/UHF).
