Two-Factor Authentication
Two-Factor Authentication is an extension of existing
ARS and TMS operation. This feature allows you to
authenticate yourself with a username, unit ID,
password and passcode.
The purpose of this feature is to allow the sender of a
text message to address a specific user of the radio,

requirements so the query service knows which user
originated a query.
You can still send text messages without logging in
