Defining Memory Channels using Macros
The macros of the 7K controller can be used to predefine memory channels for
easy selection of the most-used frequencies and radio configurations. Because
macros can hold complicated controller commands, changing channels can be
easily done using a short macro name.
The User Function commands described above cause each command to be
sent to the RBI-1 and remote base radio immediately. Since a macro can
contain many radio commands, many data transfers may have to take place to
setup the radio causing an unacceptable processing delay. The Macro
Function commands are queued in controller memory until the Macro Function:
Send Queued Settings command is executed. This causes all radio changes to
be sent in only one data transfer for minimum processing delay.
Here is an example of defining a memory channel using a controller macro.
The macro name we will define is 52. Let’s say that you want the macro to
select 146.520 MHz simplex, low power, and a CTCSS Frequency of 110.9 Hz.
To define the macro, you would enter:
(PW) 20 0052 (RBPW) 21 146520 2 * ;Freq and Offset
(PW) 29 0052 (RBPW) 23 1 * ;Tx Low Power
(PW) 29 0052 (RBPW) 27 15 * ;CTCSS Frequency
(PW) 29 0052 (RBPW) 39 * ;Send Queued Settings
; Pause, then say “Five-Two”
(PW) 29 0052 (PW) 15 9960 0000 0166 0538 *
To execute the macro, enter:
52 *
