Chapter 4 - Repeater Operation
Time of Day Message
Key-up, and enter [400], the time of day access code. Un-key, and the voice synthesizer will announce
the time. Example: The voice will say: "THE TIME IS 7:30 PM". The time of day announcement is
stored in voice message [9] and can be changed with the [*3109] programming command.
DTMF Keypad Test Port #1 and Port #2
Key-up, and enter [375], the DTMF keypad access code followed by the keypad numbers and letters to
be tested. The entries can be in any order. Un-key, and the voice will read-back all numbers and
letters that were decoded including the "STAR" and "POUND". The Forced DTMF Entry key is defaulted
to the [D] key. It must be entered last and it will not read back during the pad test.
DTMF Access Port #1 and Port #2
When the CAT-250 is in the DTMF Access mode, you must enter the DTMF Access code to activate the
repeater. The voice will say: "OK UP" and the repeater will respond to a COR and or CTCSS input.
When the repeater returns to rest, for a time determined by the sleep timer, the DTMF Access code
must be re-entered to activate the repeater. You can bypass the rest period and return the repeater to
DTMF access mode by re-entering [325], the DTMF access code. The voice will say: "OK DOWN".
Forced DTMF Command Entry Port #1 and Port #2
During normal operation a DTMF command is entered when the port goes inactive. It is possible to
force a DTMF command entry even while the port is active. The CAT-250 will accept the [D] key as an
entry command. This key can be changed with the [*29X] programming command.
DTMF Muting Override Port #1 and Port #2
With DTMF muting enabled, there may be times when it is desirable to pass the DTMF tones to the
repeater or link transmitter. To temporarily disable DTMF muting, precede the DTMF string with a
pound [#].
Repeater ID #1 (At Rest)
If the repeater has been at rest for a period in excess of the ID timer setting, when the repeater is
keyed, the CAT-250 will send ID #1. This ID should be longer than ID #2 and include additional
information about the repeater or sponsoring organization. Example: "WITH ONE HUNDRED WATTS OF
RF POWER AT YOUR SERVICE THIS IS THE W4XYZ REPEATER SYSTEM -- GOOD AFTERNOON".
Repeater ID #2 (Active)
If a QSO is in progress and it's time to identify the repeater, the CAT-250 will wait until COR drops to
send ID #2. This ID should be short so as not to interfere with the QSO in progress. Example:
"W4XYZ REPEATER." This ID is also called as the final ID of the ten-minute period.
