The message command allows one client to send a message to other clients that will provide important information to the clients. Today, messages displayed in this way generally do not persist on the client: they are shown briefly and then they are removed from the display.

C[D]<seq_number>|message severity=<severity> code=<value> "<message to deliver>"

<severity>    = severity of message (see table below)
<value>  = optional hexadecimal error code to be interpreted by other clients (3 bytes)
<message>     = message to be delivered

Severity Values:

Example:

C16|message severity=error code=0x000012 "Amplifier over temperature"

Note that SmartSDR will append one byte to the front of the error code (high order 8 bits out of 32) as shown in the Hex Value column in the table above. The error code delivered to the client for the message above is 0xE2000012. If the code value is not supplied, 0x000000 will be used in place of a value from the command.
