Messages can contain up to 16 alphanumeric
characters.
A maximum of 9 received messages can be stored in
the stack memory of your transceiver. These saved
messages can be reviewed after reception. If the stack
memory is full, the oldest message will be erased when
a new message is received. The mail icon ( ) lights
