About trunked text messages
Your radio may be programmed so that you can send
text messages. The three options for creating text
messages are selecting a preset text message,
editing a draft text message, or creating a new text
message.
To either edit or enter a text message, your
radio must have alphanumeric keys.
Using the alphanumeric keys to enter text
When the alphanumeric keys are used to enter a text
message, they have special functions.

Use the
#

acter from the display.
