goes, although this same functionality could be achieved by just making Command 037 the first
command in the reset macro.
Suppressing Command Responses in Macros:
There is one other time when you will often want to change the audio routing variable.
Suppose that you have programmed macro 467 to connect ports 2 and 3 (the autopatch) to the
main repeater on port 1. Your macro would probably execute Command 000 12 D or unkey
and Command 000 13 D or unkey to do this. The voice responses from these commands would
be "1 connect 2 on, 1 connect 3 on". It wouldn't take very long to get tired of hearing that long
message. To replace it with a nice short message like "link on" (word numbers 218 and 264),
do the following:
Insert Command 038 (suppress audio) as the first command in the macro:
Command 059 467 00 038 D or unkey or <Enter>
If you executed the macro at this point, it would be silent.
Insert the new voice message even before that:
Command 059 467 00 036 218 264 D or unkey or <Enter>
Now the macro will do the following:
Speak the voice message "link on" (command number 036)
Suppress the audio (set the audio routing variable to no ports, command number 038)
Connect ports 1 and 2 (throws the voice responses away)
Connect ports 1 and 3 (throws the voice responses away)
The same process can be used to suppress or change the voice response from any macro. Any
commands that are executed after Command 038 in a macro will be silent.
