7.24 SELECTIVE ALERTS
Selective alert messaging is an OTP feature that allows one of up to eight (8) pre-programmed (canned)
text messages to be sent from one radio to another. The sender specifies a destination (receiving) radio,
selects one of the pre-programmed text messages, and then transmits it to the destination radio. The
message delivery system adds sender and 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.
Received messages are stored in the radio until deleted or until the radio is rebooted. Received messages
do not survive a reboot.
7.24.1 Defining Messages
All selective alert messages are pre-defined. The messages are programmed and provisioned remotely by
your OpenSky system administrator. The radio user cannot create selective alert message content. The
entire selective alert message, including the abbreviation, can be up to 200 characters long.
When sending a selective alert message, the radio may display one of the following status messages
(Table 7-7).
