Using the 7K as a Beacon Controller
Several customers are using the 7K Repeater Controller as a
Beacon
Controller
. The 7K does an excellent job at this, since the speed, pitch, and
interval of the ID-er are remotely programmable; It can also be turned ON
(enabled) and OFF (disabled) remotely. Here's how to do it:
•
Set
for infinity (page 17-5).
•
Program
for the desired frequency of occurrence
(perhaps 1.0 minute). See page 12-5.
•
Either ground the COR input (
RX
switch is ON), or open the COR input (
RX
switch is OFF).
The transmitter will stay keyed indefinitely. The ID will be sent at the interval
selected by command. If desired, the actual ID Message can be changed
automatically by the 7K. This is accomplished by using the
capability (page 12-4): when the controller wishes to ID, it executes a macro.
The macro sends the CW ID, and also changes the ID-triggered-macro for the
next ID.
For example, let's assume that we have defined 5 CW ID messages that we
want the 7K to “rotate.” How do we program the 7K to do the rotation?
•
Delete the messages (callsigns) that have been stored in the ID-er, if any.
See page 12-3.
•
Create five macros. Let's call them 1000, 1001, 1002, 1003, and 1004.
