■ Status Message
You can send and receive 2-digit Status messages
(10 ~ 79) which may be decided in your talk group.
Messages can contain up to 16 alphanumeric
characters.
A maximum of 9 received messages can be stored in
the stack memory of your transceiver. These saved
messages can be reviewed after reception. If the
stack memory is full, the oldest message will be
erased when a new message is received. The mail

stack memory.
Note: All stored messages will be cleared when the transceiver
