Repeater Enable
This is the repeater’s master enable/disable
control. Set this to 0 to disable the repeater.

required mode when enabled. When disabled,

Key Up Delay

not on.

Hang Timer Enabled
Normally enabled, but can be disabled when the
repeater runs on battery power, or to discourage
“kerchunkers.”

mode, the repeater, when idle, can only be
activated by sending the DTMF access prefix,

repeater will remain active until either disabled
with the DTMF access prefix followed by a 0,
or the repeater remains idle for longer than the
time specified in the DTMF access timer.

Courtesy Tone Enabled
Allows the courtesy tone to be enabled or
disabled.
