Conventional Mode Features
If “Set R to R” is disabled:
• A text message can be received from radios on a digital channel with a repeater if 
PCTextMessage is connected to that repeater (all radios must be dynamically registered 
to the repeater)
• A text message can be received from a radio and PCTextMessage on a digital 
conventional channel (if PCTextMesssage is connected to that repeater)
5.15.2 Receiving a Text Message
When a text message is received, a short alternating tone is sounded and the display 
flashes “TEXT MSG” (Standard Control Head) or “Text Message” (Lightning Control 
Head).
To view the message, press the assigned text message function button. The sender’s Unit 
ID (or alias, if programmed) will be displayed for approximately one second. Following 
this, the text of the message is shown.
Note
Mobile radio with the Standard Control Head displays only capital letters, numbers, and 
the following symbols: period, question mark, apostrophe, forward slash, and backslash. 
Incoming message text is parsed to meet this requirement (i.e., lower case letters are 
capitalized, and any character not meeting the requirement is replaced by space).
If the message is nine characters or less in length, the text will remain stationary on the 
Standard Control Head. If the message is fifteen characters or less in length, the text will 
remain stationary on the Lightning Control Head..
If the message is longer than ten characters, the text will scroll across the display.
• To pause scrolling, press the Select knob.
• If desired, adjust the message position by turning the Select knob.
• To resume scrolling, press the Select knob again
Note
The message displayed is the message most recently received. To view messages received 
earlier, refer to paragraph 5.15.3.
5.15.3 Viewing Previously Received Messages
To view previously received messages:
Press and hold the text message button, or select the text message menu item, and select 
“View Msg”. The display will show “Message 1”, which is the most recent message 
received.
