How to Configure a Port as a Repeater
The RLC-4 controller supports a repeater on every port. This allows for multiple stand alone
repeaters operating at the same time, on the same controller. We will describe how to configure
and set up port one as a repeater. Simply follow our example to configure other ports as repeaters.
Configure the port's connection: 000 1 1 <unkey>
This command connects port 1's receiver to port 1's transmitter. When you do this port 1's
receiver will cause a PTT on port 1's transmitter. You could call this putting it into repeater mode.
Configure the port's Hang timer: 020 008 200 <unkey>
This command set the hang timer to 200 * 10mS = 2 seconds.
Configure the port's ID'er: 085 1 1 <unkey>
This command enables the ID’er for port 1. The ID timer defaults to 10 minutes.
Programming in your ID: 053 151 030 20 15 07 15 36 27 <unkey>
This command programed macro 151 to send the cw message “KF7FW/R”. Macro number
151 is the designated macro for port 1 initial ID. Now each time the controller needs to ID initially
on port 1, macro 151 is executed and the CW message “KF7FW/R” is sent out port 1.
Note: the ID's will automatically be sent to the right ports, so don't worry about the "message
routing variable".
Configure the courtesy beep:
The courtesy beep is already configured and stored in Macro 159. When you execute
Command 159 you will get a "beep" at 500 Hz for 200mS. To program your own beeps refer to
the section "Beeps and Messages" or take a look at Command 040.
Configure the time-out timer:
The time-out timer defaults to 3 minutes and is programmable with Command 020.
Now your port is configured as a repeater port.
