Limited allotted frequencies and expensive cables require user sharing of most circuits, requiring selection methods to enable terminal equipment of the desired addressee. A selective call teletype device capable of operation at any commonly used speed, constructed with microcircuits, was designed and built to provide the terminal selection capability required in the multiple circuits. Small size, weight, and power requirements and the high reliability possible with microcircuits make a unit of this type attractive for conversion of existing systems as well as in the design of new equipment.
