where “id” is the neighboring station ID, the message length is from 1 to 3000 characters and the
queue depth is from 1 to 25. The default queue depth is 5. Additional canned messages will be
automatically injected if the number of canned messages in the queue falls below the minimum
queue depth.

CANMSG,id
where “id” is the neighboring station’s ID. After composing your message press the [ESC] key.
The MRC-565 will automatically route up to 25 copies of the canned message to the destination
station.
Each canned message will be acknowledged by the selected neighboring station. No end-to-end
acknowledgement will be received.
If the TOTAL parameter was entered the canned message mode will stop when the desired
number of messages have been transmitted.
To manually terminate the mode, enter:
CANMSG OFF,id
