(EN) A signalling protocol (70) comprising a plurality of interleaved phases (90a, 90b, 90c and 90d) is transmitted at one of a plurality of baud rates, the plurality of baud rates being multiples of a base baud rate. The signalling protocol (70) allows a selec- tive call receiver (FIG. 5) to decode at an operating baud rate equivalent to the base baud rate irrespective of the transmission baud rate by decoding only a portion (90a, 90b, 90c or 90d) of the transmitted signal, the portion decoded (90a, 90b, 90c or 90d) determined by the baud rate and the address of the selective call receiver.
