Programming for Status Messages 

You can set your personal status to send to another radio, or group of radios, or allow your status to be accessed 
(polled) by other radios. Status messages can be sent and received using either Individual IDs or Talk Group IDs. 
Program your radio with the following settings. All frequencies need to be entered and the squelch level must be set
