User Functions: Controlling the Radios
Users will operate the remote base radios using the User Functions commands
described on the following pages. These commands allow users to turn on and
off the remote base interface, change VFO frequency or memory channel,
transmitter offset and power, and change the operation of the CTCSS encoder
and decoder.
Note: not all features are available in all remote base radios. See the Doug
Hall Electronics RBI-1 Manual for availability of features in the radios that you
are using.
As the User Function commands are entered, they are immediately sent to the
RBI-1 and on to the radio, with only a small processing delay.
Note: User Function commands are preceded by the Remote Base Password
(shown as RBPW in the following pages) instead of the Master Password or
Control Operator Password (shown as PW where required).
Normally, the remote base interface is off. When a user wants to use the
remote base interface, he will enter the User Function: Access Remote Base
command. This causes the Remote Base Access-Triggered Macro to be
executed setting everything to initial settings that you defined.
The user can then specify a frequency or memory channel to monitor.
Direct Frequency Entry -- A user can directly enter a frequency to monitor or
operate. The transmitter can be initially disabled or it can be enabled with an
offset.
Radio Memory Channels -- A user can select a preprogrammed radio memory
channel. The memory channels can contain the frequency, offset, and CTCSS
information so that information does not need to be entered.
The user can change radio parameters as required to change frequency,
transmit power, CTCSS frequency, etc.
When done with the remote base interface, the user would enter the User
Function: Dump Remote Base. This causes the Remote Base Dump-Triggered
Macro to be executed disabling the interface.
