Status Messages
The radio allows you to send two types of status messages: statuses and targeted statuses. Your
service provider determines which type is enabled on the radio.
Statuses can be sent either to a selected talkgroup or to a private number programmed by your service
provider. Targeted statuses can be sent to any talkgroup defined for the radio or to any private number
that is from the contact list or entered manually.
