Informing other radio users of your status
You may be able to inform other radio users of your current status
by sending them a status update, for example, ‘On site’. If the
radio receiving your message has been programmed with the
same status messages, it will decode and display your message. If
you receive a status message, the message is automatically
queued, since a response is not expected.
