One option is to disable the repeater transmitter. This will keep the tranmitter from coming up for
any reason. It will not repeat audio, it will not ID, it will not send any messages that may be caused
I/O alarm messages, and if a remote is connected, it will not send the audio from that remote. The
receiver will still work normally. You can still use the receiver to turn the repeater back on or enter
any other commands, and if you have a remote base port connected to the repeater port, your
receiver's audio will still go out the remote. The repeater transmitter can be disabled by entering
"033 10".
Another option is to disable the repeater's receiver. In this case, the receiver will not cause any
transmitters to key up and no audio that is received by that receiver will be transmitted out the
repeater or any remotes. The repeater transmitter will continue to work normally. It will still ID
(when it needs to), send alarm messages, and if a remote is connected, it will still send the audio
from that remote. You can disable port 1's receiver by entering "005 10".
You can choose whether or not to allow commands to be entered when the receiver is disabled
with command 005. Entering "005 1 0" will disable receiver 1 and make the controller ignore any
commands that are entered there. This may be useful for keeping someone from that is trying to
break into your controller from getting in. It will also keep you from doing anything from that
receiver - even turning it back on. If you set command 005 this way and disable the receiver, you
will have to turn the receiver back on from another receiver on the controller, from the reverse
patch, or from the serial port. If your enter "005 1 0 1" instead, the disabled receiver will still not
cause any transmitters to key, but you will be able to enter commands on that receiver.
The final method for disabling a repeater is to disconnect the repeater port from itself by entering
"002 11" (or from itself and any remotes that might be connected: "061 1"). This does not disable
either the repeater receiver (it can still receive commands) or the transmitter (it can still send ID's
and I/O alarms), but it keeps the repeater receiver from being heard on any transmitters and keeps
the transmitter from sending the audio from any receivers. This is the best method for most
systems.
Whichever of the methods you choose to turn your repeater off, you will probably want to program
a macro to do it with a simple DTMF code and program another macro to turn it back on. An
example of the final (recommended) method is show below. Entering "A1" should shut the
repeater off and "A2" should turn it back on.
055 173 ; delete macro
056 173 030 27 40 24 15 15 ; send cw message "R OFF"
056 173 038 ; be quiet for the rest of this macro
056 173 061 1 ; disconnect all ports from port 1
010 173 A1 ; name the repeater off code "A1"
055 174 ; delete macro
056 174 030 27 40 24 23 ; send cw message "r on"
056 174 038 ; be quiet for the rest of this macro
056 174 000 11 ; make port 1 a repeater again - this will not
reconnect any remotes
010 174 A2 ; name the repeater on code "A2"
