No system information, no freq. no Talk Group, What is UPD ? There should be some sort of standard on how to send an ALERT PAGE! |

Given that we want pages to be short, adding the primary freq or TG to the end of the page should suffice. Since the page will identify the location and/or agency it should be easy to figure out what area the freq is relevant to or what trunk system the TG belongs to. |

I didn't get the alerts either. The last one I got was that Clemmons was killed. |

I received the alerts too, but didn't understand= UPD For info I put out the {Clemmons shot/ killed} alert, due to the magnitude of public safety. |

My guess would be sense it was the 2nd page and the first text of the page that UPD might stand for update. |
