ESSAGE
You can send and receive 2-digit Status messages which may be decided in your
talk group. Messages can contain up to 16 alphanumeric characters. Status
messages range from 10 to 99 (80 ~ 99 are reserved for special messages).
A maximum of 5 received messages can be stored in the stack memory of your
transceiver. These saved messages can be reviewed after reception.
Depending on your dealer settings, when the stack memory is full, either the

message will not be stored in the stack memory. The
icon lights when a
message is stored in the stack memory.
