                                                       "Z" Signals



"Z" Operating Signals are international signals and are prescribed for use on all types of communications, military and non-military. When given in the form of a question, the "Z" signal should be preceeded by the interrogative abbreviation "INT".

"Z" Operating Signals are contained in Allied Communications Publication (ACP) 131. They are prescribed for international use. "Z" Signals used specifically by DSSCS are appended to the bottom of the list.

==========================================================
Exerpted from Communications Technician "O" 3&2, Rate Training Manual (NAVEDTRA 10235-C), Revised 1975, Appendix VI:

In addition to operating signals which are assigned meanings in the current edition of ACP-131, the following signals and assigned meanings are authorized for use in DSSCS.

ZCA - This is an exact duplicate of a message which has been forwarded via physical means.  (1. to ............. )

ZEM - Used in message format as a symbol for machine recognition of the start of text (SOT) indicator, which prevents the incoming line sensing device from reacting to certain machine sequences during the textual portion of a message.

ZRJ - Urgent operating condition.  Used to attract the attention of a distant station.  Receipt of this signal will activate an alarm at those stations where incoming circuits are equipped with the model 28 printer. to avoid unnecessary alarms, use of this operating signal must be limited to conditions of urgency.

ZYH - Used in message format as a high precedence indicator, which activates an alarm upon receipt of an IMMEDIATE, FLASH or CRITIC precedence message.

ZYO - This message originated by a Navy afloat or Navy mobile unit.  All service message and retransmission requests will be addressed to the routing indicator following this operating signal.

ZYS - Do not transmit via OPINTEL broadcast.

ZZR - The text of this message employs a code, which presents a garbled appearance on standard teletypewriter equipments.  Approximate length is ..... (1. 300 groups;  2. 600 groups;  3. 900 groups.)

ZZS - This message is a corrected copy, destroy all others previously transmitted.
