Simple data
When communicating using simple data communication, the following characters can not be used:
- 0x00
- 0x11 (XON)
- 0x13 (XOFF)
- 0x76 (Used for packet loss notification)
- 0x84 (Used for packet loss notification)
- 0xE7 (Used for packet loss notification)
- 0xFE
Note: Handle as packet loss when the data frame is the following string “0xE7, 0x84, 0x76” and the voice frame is the silence pattern “0x9E, 0x8D, 0x32, 0x88, 0x26, 0x1A, 0x3F, 0x61, 0xE8” It can not be used. (See “Packet loss”).

Messaging function
This function is used to send and receive 20-character messages to be displayed on the radio. It is specified as follows. The characters that can be used depending on the radio used.

Header retransmission
Header information retransmission
It is possible to transmit by using a data frame in a state where error correction is not applied to information excluding bit synchronization and frame synchronization in radio section header information. In the case of transmission, it occupies nine frames of data frame after the [Sync] frame, (further in the case of transmitting the code squelch information, thereafter) and transmits one header information at a cycle of 420 ms.
Note: Since the occupancy rate of the header information is high in the retransmission of the header information, there are cases where the retransmission of the header information is not performed in the case of performing simple data communication by the user or during the message transmission of the message function.
Code Squelch
When using the digital code squelch (CSQL) feature, the following two-digit code is transmitted as a data frame. The code data is transmitted at a cycle of 420 ms using the data frame of two frames immediately after the [Sync] frame.
