150..162: Execute an Automatic Macro
The following is a list of the macros that are automatically executed by the controller at certain
times. Because they are executed automatically when something happens (like a timer expiring)
rather than because a user specifically told it to execute by entering the macros name, they are
called "automatic" macros. The only difference between automatic and user macros is who (or
what) decides that they should be executed. They are named according to the function that they
usually perform. If you want to change how something works, you can change what commands the
macro executes to suit your own desires. An example of this would be changing an impolite ID
macro to send your repeater's ID rather than the example ID that is programmed in at the factory.
Command 045 is what determines which of these macros is assigned to each task. The descriptions
below describe the way they are assigned when the controller is initialized; you can change those
assignments with command 045 if you wish.
You can execute any of these macros by entering its name which corresponds to its macro number
followed by a 'D' or unkey or <Enter> (example 155 would execute macro 155). This is useful for
finding out what is already in the macros. You find out even more about what is in a macro by
recalling its contents with command 054 (enter 054 followed by the macro number). If you do this
from a serial terminal, it will be relatively easy to understand. If you do it from a DTMF pad, the
CW message may seem long and complicated. You can learn a lot about how the controller works
by looking at what is inside of the macros with Command 054.
Macro 150
This macro is used for temporary storage by the controller. You should not normally use it. If you
do, be forewarned that its contents could change at any moment.
Macros 151..158 These macros are automatically called when it is time to send an ID. You will
want to erase (with Command 055) what is in these macros when you get the controller and put
your own ID messages in these macros.
