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,

destination (receiving) radio. The sending radio receives a brief message noting the status of the
transmission.
