##NOTE: Use this feature with caution. Deactivating automatic switching and then forgetting it can make it hard for you to receive DSC calls.

If you have unread incoming DSC calls, the radio displays a message icon. You will be able to review who has called. The radio displays the last 10 distress calls and the last 20 non- distress calls it received (see the receive log on page 24).
