6.27 SELECTIVE ALERT

Selective alert messaging is an OTP feature allowing one of up to eight (8) pre-programmed text

messages (refer to section 6.27.3) to be sent from one radio to another. The user specifies a destination

radio’s User ID, selects on e of the pre-programmed text messages, and then transmits it to the destination

radio. The message delivery system adds time-of-day information and forwards the message to the

destination (receiving) radio. The sending radio receives a brief message noting the status of the

transmission. Refer to Table 6-6 for a list of possible status messages.

The first few characters of a message are part of the message text entered when the message is

programmed. This programming is performed by the system or network administration personnel.

Messages successfully received by the destination radio are stored in it until read or until it is power

cycled.

The destination radio’s User ID can be selected via the menu or via the keypad on the system model

control head.
