Status update
You can inform another radio user of your current
status by sending them a status update, for example,
‘At scene’. You may be able to send the status update
to a predetermined person or talkgroup, or to a person
of your choice.
If you are on a P25 trunk channel, you can send your
status to any other radio on a trunk channel on the
same network.
If you are on a P25 conventional channel, you can
send your status to any other radio on the same
conventional channel.
When you send a status message, you are also
setting your status, which the dispatcher may be able
to check by ‘interrogating’ your radio. You can change
your status at any time by selecting another status
message and sending it. See "Status request" on
page 105.
To send a status update:
1 Press Menu and select Services >
Status update. (Depending on how your radio is
programmed, you may be able to press a function
key or use your Quick Access menu to select
status update.)
2 Select the status message you want from the list.
3 Press Send or Select.
A message showing the destination appears in the
display.
