128 Part F: Configuring Channels
© Tait Electronics Limited December 2007
Note:
When using CTCSS tones, select frequencies that are spread
out across the available range. Do not select tones that are close to
one another in frequency, as the tone reject bandwidth may not
permit separating them. For example, if 67 Hz is received, both the 67 Hz and
the 69.4 Hz decoders may operate. The exact select and reject bandwidths vary,
see
“CTCSS characteristics” on page 93 .
b. If you want the subtone to initiate a Task Manager action , but not to
produce any audio, change the Action column to display ‘Task Manager
only’.
c. In the Encode Signal column, you can tell the base station to transmit
a different subtone from the one it received.
7. In the Tx Timers tab, configure the way the audio, signalling, and carrier
end at the end of a transmission.
8. In the Advanced tab, configure advanced parameters for CTCSS signalling.
9. In the Task Manager tab, define any inputs and actions to customize the way
channels with this profile will respond in different situations.
10. Click OK to confirm your changes and close the dialog box. The profile
you defined appears in the Signalling Profiles form.
Setting Up a Reminder Tone
If a group of radios using a community repeater are in arrears with their
payments, you can configure the base station to send out a reminder tone. If
necessary, you can disable audio so that they can transmit but not hear each
other.
1. Select Configure > Base Station > Signalling Profiles.
2. Open the editing form of the signalling profile assigned to the base station’s
current channel.
3. In the row that specifies the decode signal that the group of radios use, click
the Reminder Tone cell, and select Enabled from the list that appears.
When you program the base station with these changes, it adds a reminder
tone to the transmissions from the group that it re-transmits.
Note: To configure the reminder tone, select the Advanced tab of
the Edit Signalling Profile dialog box.
