Yes, some do. But others, like your TV, radio, and CBs do not. They just

It may be that you are right and this is what happened.
But I was thinking that the message was just sent out on a certain

They knew she was out there, but they did not know where, so they just
broadcast that message on a frequency they knew she would be monitoring.
