Sending and Receiving Status Messages

A status message is sent to another party to indicate current activity or location, such as "en route" or "at lunch". If the
radio receiving the message has been programmed with the same status messages, it will decode and display the
message. If a status message is received, the message is automatically queued, since a response is not expected.
Status messages can also be used to control external devices.
Sending a status message

Depending on how radio is programmed, the message may be sent directly to a pre-configured radio
