Sending a Status Call (Trunking Only)

A Status Call is a text message sent to the dispatcher informing him
or her of your situation. It does not involve a voice transmission. The
status call feature is available on both conventional and trunked
systems. For example, a status call might indicate to the dispatcher
that you are ENROUTE or AT SITE.
Status names are field-programmable. In trunking modes, each radio
can have up to eight separate statuses.
Follow these steps to send a status call to your dispatcher:
1 Press the m button below STS

mic.
