Default Re: What do those letters mean?

It's for SELCAL

It stands for Selective Calling. If you have a radio tuned a certain frequency, and someone needs to call you, they send out those letters in a coded signal.

Then a chime, or voice, in the cockpit notifies you that you need to call the ground station.
