Send a Direct-Entry Keyboard (DEK) Status
(Digital Modes Only)
Press the desired Sts # button on the DEK.
The red indicator flashes while the radio is waiting for an
acknowledgment. The control head momentarily displays the
selected status, then shows PLS WAIT (W7) or PLEASE WAIT
(W9).
One of the following conditions occur:
• When the dispatcher-acknowledge is received, four high-
pitched tones sound, and the status indicator lights solid and
remains on to show the last status acknowledged by the
dispatch terminal.
The display also temporarily shows ACK RCVD.
The radio then returns to normal dispatch operation.
• If the dispatcher-acknowledge is not received, the red
indicator continues to flash, the display temporarily shows
NO ACK, and a low-pitched tone sounds. At the same time,
the indicator above the last-acknowledged status lights.
The radio then returns to normal dispatch operation.
Resend the last status.
