DAPNET paging messages are limited to 80 characters per message. To conserve space, a2d messages follow the structure given below and will be delivered to your pager:

SourceCall (DestinationSSID): Message

• SourceCall: The sender's callsign.
• DestinationSSID: Your callsign's SSID.
• Message: The message content.

Example: NY3W-5(7): Hello OM!

Here, NY3W is the sender's callsign, 7 is the SSID of the receiver's (your) callsign (e.g., NY3W-7), and Hello OM! is the message. If the DestinationSSID displays 0, it means the message is targeted for your callsign without any SSID.
