How to Configure a Port as a Repeater
The RLC-Club controller can support a repeater on both ports. This allows two stand alone
repeaters to operate at the same time, on the same controller (with their own courtesy beeps,
hang time, ID's, etc.). We will describe how to configure and setup port one as a repeater.
Simply follow this example to configure port 2 as a repeater.
Configure the port's connection: - 000 1 1 D or unkey or <Enter>
This command connects port 1's receiver to port 1's transmitter. When you do this ports
1 receiver will cause a PTT on ports 1 transmitter. You could call this putting it into repeater
mode.
Configure the port's Hang timer:
- 020 005 200 D or unkey or <Enter>
This command set the hang timer to 200 * 10mS = 2 seconds.
Configure the port's ID'er:
- 085 1 1 D or unkey or <Enter>
This command enables the ider for port 1. The ID timer defaults to 10 minutes.
Programming in your ID:
Macros 220, 222, 226, 228, 230, and 232 are set aside for your initial ID, rotating ID's
and impolite ID's. See command 064 for more information about programming ID's.
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 232. When you execute
Command 232 you will get a "beep" at 500 Hz for 200mS. To program your own beeps refer to
Chapter 6, especially Command 040.
Configure the time-out timer:
The time-out timer defaults to 3 minutes and is programmable with Command 020. You
can change the time out message by re-programming macro 259 and the time out clear message
by re-programming macro 262.
Now your port is configured as a repeater port.
