  MilSpec Communications: Fundamentals of Automatic Link Establishment (ALE)
Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) is the principle where a specialized radio modem, known as an ALE adaptive controller, is assigned the task of automatically controlling an HF receiver and transmitter in order to establish the highest quality communication link with 1 or multiple HF radio stations.
Link establishment is dependent on many factors and is fully optimized by the use of a micro computer in the ALE controller.
ALE controllers conform to MIL-STD-188-141A link establishment functions and perform encoding and decoding of data by the use of an 8-ARY binary FSK modulator/demodulator.

 radio glossary
automatic link establishment - In high-frequency (HF) radio, the capability of a station to make contact, or initiate a circuit, between itself and another specified radio station, without human intervention and usually under processor control.
A coherent emission having a relatively narrow spectral content, e.g., a radio emission from another transmitter at approximately the same frequency, or having a harmonic frequency approximately the same as, another emission of interest to a given recipient, and which impedes reception of the desired signal by the intended recipient.
linking protection - In adaptive high-frequency (HF) radio, protection intended to prevent the establishment of unauthorized links or the unauthorized manipulation of legitimate links, and which are administered through an authorization process.

 [No title]
Because automatic interconnection eliminates the need for an operator to connect calls, we are also eliminating the requirement to have an FCC-licensed radio operator at the control point of each radiotelephone public coast station.
Because these stations provide a vital, internationally allocated link between vessels at sea and the PSN, we tentatively conclude that the public interest would be best served by providing for their continued operation while, at the same time, reducing implementation barriers for regional licensees.
We propose to establish a presumption that regional licensees are telecommunications carriers.

 ALE Overview
The link may be terminated by either party or may terminate by lack of activity by one party.
The basic ALE process is similar to a voice call made by a human operator, except it is accomplished by the ALE controllers using a series of tones, with meaning to the receiving station(s).
If calling another station and contact (link) is not established on the best frequency as determined by the current LQA data, the call will be attempted on the second best channel, etc. or until the number of tries (call attempts) has been exceeded.

Automatic Link Establishment, ALE, is a technique for maximizing the effectiveness of communications between to equipped High Frequency radio stations by testing and determining the frequency at which propagation is most effective between the two stations.
Automatic link establishment is a robust, adaptive HF radio method for automatically establishing communications, networking, linking protection, high-speed data modems, and basic HF radio parameters over HF single sideband (SSB) links.
The ALE controller can be programmed to scan one or more frequencies, pick the best frequency for operation, and switch to voice or data operation immediately upon link establishment (High Frequency Radio Automatic Link Establishment, ALE, Application Handbook, National Telecommunications and Information Administration, NTIA).

 Automatic sounding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In telecommunication, automatic sounding is the testing of selected channels or paths by providing a very brief beacon-like identifying broadcast that may be used by other stations to evaluate connectivity, propagation, and availability, and to identify known working channels for possible later use for communications or calling.
Automatic soundings are primarily intended to increase the efficiency of the automatic link establishment (ALE) function, thereby increasing system throughput.
Sounding information is used for identifying the specific channel to be used for a particular ALE connectivity attempt.
