Tx1 and Tx2 command (see page 12-5) sets the maximum interval between
identifications. The Select ID Pending Interval for Tx1 and Tx2 command (see
page 12-6) sets the amount of time that the controller “looks ahead” to insert a
polite ID and Select ID Message Interval minus Select ID Pending Interval sets
the minimum time between IDs on an active system.
When the conversation is finished and the ID timer expires for the last time, the
Normal ID Message is sent and the Polite ID Macro is executed. The identifier
always has the “last word”. No additional identification will be sent until a new
ID cycle is begun by an incoming signal.
You may program messages into the identifier by using the Select Identifier
Messages commands on page 12-3.
• The Initial ID Message may contain a greeting, club name, city, CTCSS
frequency, or other such information in addition to the callsign.
• The Normal ID Message is usually short, containing only the callsign,
since it is sent occasionally throughout a conversation between user
transmissions.
• The Impolite ID Message should be as short and inconspicuous as
possible since it is sent over a user’s transmission when a Normal ID
Message cannot be inserted between users’ transmissions.
The ID messages can be deleted and the ID macros used instead. For
example, the Initial ID Macro can pulse a logic output, starting a tape cartridge
machine or digital voice recorder on which the identification and greeting are
recorded.
