Status Call

A status is a code for transmitting prearranged
messages, e.g. status "05" may indicate
"Return to Base". The prearranged messages
and associated code digits are contained in a
Status List which contains up to 255 entries.
This list is used for both incoming calls, when
the status of the calling radio is displayed, and
outgoing calls, when your status is sent either
to a requesting radio or to other radios.
