6.27 SELECTIVE ALERT
Selective alert messaging is an OTP feature allowing one of up to eight (8) pre-programmed text
messages (refer to section 6.27.3) to be sent from one radio to another. The user specifies a destination
radio’s User ID, selects one of the pre-programmed text messages, and then transmits it to the destination
radio. The message delivery system adds time-of-day information and forwards the message to the
destination (receiving) radio. The sending radio receives a brief message noting the status of the
transmission. Refer to Table 6-6 for a list of possible status messages.
The first few characters of a message are part of the message text entered when the message is
programmed. This programming is performed by the system or network administration personnel.
Messages successfully received by the destination radio are stored in it until read or until it is power
cycled.
