Selcall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the similarly named system used in aviation, see SELCAL.
Selcall (selective calling) is a type of squelch protocol used in radio communications systems, in which transmissions include a brief burst of sequential audio tones. Receivers that are set to respond to the transmitted tone sequence will open their squelch, while others will remain muted.
