Default Commands Accessible When Unlocked
This section deals with those commands that allow you to change the operating conditions of the RC210. Except where noted, the
settings affected by these commands are stored in non-volatile memory and will survive a power cycle of the controller. For example, if
you have CTCSS Access selected on Port 1, that port will require CTCSS until you specifically change the setting, even if the controller
loses power.
Supervisory Commands
These commands are those which typically control the behavior of the RC210, such as enabling and disabling features. They are only
accessible while any of the 3 ports is unlocked but may be re-mapped using Command Macros to allow access even though no ports
are unlocked. An asterisk next to each description signifies the default power up state of that function (this can be changed by
programming).
Important
Any Port's Supervisory Commands are accessible regardless of which port is currently unlocked and regardless of which
Port you're actually connected to. For example, you could unlock Port 3 and change the Carrier/CTCSS setting on Port 1, even
though you're actually using a radio connected to Port 2.
Receiver Enable/Disable
Each port's receiver may be temporarily disabled individually to prevent a signal from that receiver from being recognized. Note that this
setting is not stored in non-volatile memory and upon a controller reset or power up, all receivers will once again be enabled. Also note
that for safety reasons, you cannot disable the receiver on the Port to which you’re currently connected.

1100 Port 1 Receiver Disable 2100 Port 2 Receiver Disable 3100 Port 3 Receiver Disable
Transmitter Enable/Disable
Each port's transmitter may be disabled individually to prevent keying by itself or other ports. This command completely disables the
transmitter on that port, except for ID's
1111 Port 1 Enable* 2111 Port 2 Enable* 3111 Port 3 Enable*
1110 Port 1 Disable 2110 Port 2 Disable 3110 Port 3 Disable
Carrier/CTCSS AND Carrier/CTCSS Only Access
Each port supports an external CTCSS (or digital) decoder, the action of which may be controlled with these commands.
1120 Port 1 Carrier* 2120 Port 2 Carrier* 3120 Port 3 Carrier*
1121 Port 1 CTCSS AND Carrier 2121 Port 2 CTCSS AND Carrier 3121 Port 3 CTCSS AND Carrier
NOTE: CTCSS Only Access is a very s
pecial case you should NOT normally be used. If you’re wanting tone access, you
should select CTCSS AND Carrier as your access method
TouchTone© Covertone
Whenever a DTMF digit is pressed, the receiver audio from that port is muted. Optionally, a covertone may be selected so users aren't
faced with "dead air".
