Status & Message Operations
STATUS
operation allows a pre-programmed status condition to
be transmitted to a P25 trunked tower site
MESSAGE
operation allows a pre-programmed text message to
be transmitted to a P25 trunked tower site
Each
STATUS
and
MESSAGE
is assigned an ID that is cross-
referenced to a determined condition (
ie., Off Duty, In Service,
Transporting, or some similar message
)
The messages are routed from the tower site to a specific
dispatch console (
or to several specific consoles
) that have been
pre-designated to receive that particular message (
based on the
assigned ID number
)
Each
STATUS
condition message and each
MESSAGE
text is pre-
programmed by the system administrator
– individual radio
operators cannot enter their own messages as “text” entries
nor can they choose which console(s) receive the message
