ID-O-Matic III

Time of day
: If you wish, you can set the time of day clock to the real time. This can be used
for beacons and quiet time. Enter the date and time in the format specified. If you have a GPS
time source attached, this field will indicate if the clock has been set to GPS time.
Quiet time start/end
: If desired, you can set a “quiet time” during which no beacons will be
sent. Enter the beginning and ending hours for quiet time, in 24 hour format – for example, to
stop beacon transmissions from 11 PM to 7 AM, enter 23 and 07 for the quiet time start/end
hours. If the time is not set (either manually from the menu or via GPS receiver), the quiet time
settings will be ignored.
Messages
The Messages screen allows you to enter the message(s) you wish to send when the ID and/or
beacon timers expire.
The CWID, beacon and ALT (alternate) messages can each be up to 63 characters long. The
TOT (Time-Out Timer) message can be a maximum of 10 characters. Morse ID speed is self-
explanatory, and the “ID on power-up” setting determines whether the ID message will be sent
immediately when power is applied to the ID-O-Matic III. The Morse code ID tone (in Hz) can
also be set here.
There are a couple of special things to be aware of when entering your message. If you want to
include a timed key-down or solid tone (useful for beacons, for example) you can do so by
entering a colon, the number of seconds, and another colon as part of the message. Let’s say I
want to include a 10 second key-down in a beacon message. I might use a message like this:
