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 net-
work.
If you are on a P25 conventional channel, you can send your status to any other radio on the same conventional chan-
nel.
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.
