The VX-3R/E provides a message feature, which sends a message (up to 16 characters)
instead of sending a voice. 20 different messages can be programmed, and one of them can
be selected and transmitted with your ID.
The Message Feature requires that all members (1) use the VX-3R/E, VX-
8R/DR/E/DE, VX-8GR/GE, or Vertex Standard FTM-10R/RS/E/SE trans-
ceiver, (2) store the same messages into the message slot, (3) store the same
member list into the member box, and (4) set the same frequency.

GENCY). The factory-programmed message of course can be overwritten at any time with
personalized messages.
