Message index display
The Message index display shows the identifiers of messages from a specific
receiver. Unread messages have an “envelope” (*) mark; locked messages (see
Full message display) have a “key” (Ñ) mark.
Message identifiers can be expanded to show either the first two lines or the full
message by selecting the desired message and pushing the appropriate softkey.
Messages from another receiver can be displayed using the View softkey, which
cycles through the available sources.
Messages are grouped by time interval. The Show softkey cycles through the set
intervals.
Message summary display
The Message summary display shows the first two lines of each message,
selected by various criteria.
Selection criteria are time, station identity and message type. The Sort by softkey
cycles through these criteria.
Depending on the selection, the “group” is a 4-hour period, a station or a message
type.
The Show softkey controls the total number of messages displayed by suppressing
messages which are older than the selected time frame.
A message can be shown in full by selecting it and pushing the View softkey.
Full message display
Because messages are automatically erased 72 hours after they are received, it is
necessary to take action to retain an important message beyond this time.
Displaying the message and pressing the Lock softkey causes the message to be
retained indefinitely. A locked message is identified by a “key” (Ñ) mark in the
Index display.
A locked message is unlocked by displaying it (in this view) and pressing the
Unlock softkey.
Up to 250 messages can be saved for long term retention; once the limit has been
reached, operating the Lock softkey will not lock any more messages until some
are unlocked again.
