When the entire message has been delivered to its final destination an end-to-end
acknowledgement will be displayed on the operator terminal:
hh:mm:ss END-TO-END ACK OF name:sss FROM name
If the end-to-end ACK is not received within the specified time-to-live limit, the MRC-565 will
purge the message from the Tx Queue and display the following message:
hh:mm:ss MESSAGE TIME-TO-LIVE EXPIRED, MSG.NO:sss, DESTN: name
You must then reenter the message. Continued failure to successfully transmit a message
indicates that something may be wrong with the equipment or the link (e.g., excessive noise
interference).

display:
