Automatic Macros
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.
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 200 would execute macro 200). 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 D or unkey or <Enter> then the macro's
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 voice message may seem long and complicated. This is because the
synthesized voice must spell out the messages that are programmed in the macros. You can
learn a lot about how the controller works by looking at what is inside of the macros with
Command 054. Command 054 also tells you how many percent full a macro is. Each macro
can store 100 bytes of information, about 100 keystrokes.
