show a screen indicating which buddy is being called. If there is no
acknowledgement, the radio will retry the call after a few seconds.
Only one retry is made per tracking interval.
If tracking is already taking place, the START TRACKING text is
replaced with STOP TRACKING.
Interval
The frequency that ‘buddies’ are polled with position requests can
be selected between: 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes.
