message icon does not appear on the target list or danger
list display.)
The contents of the message can be checked in the receive
message log, as described to the right.
The message icon stays on the plotter display as long as the
unread message is stored in the RX log memory.
NOTE: The transponder automatically stores the received
messages in the RX log memory. (See to the right)
