Using the Radio (Use Repeater Commands)
Control and linking can be done by sending special commands using the TX To field on your transceiver.
| TO Value | Command |
|---|---|
| CQCQCQ | Use the repeater |
| _______U | Disconnect |
| _______I | Get current status |
| _______L | Connect to default reflector |
In the above, the underscore (_) indicates a space and there is 7 of them.
When linking to a reflector, place the reflector details followed by an L.
Examples:
| Reflector Type | Reflector Number | Module | Command |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF | 001 | C | REF001CL |
| XRF | 005 | B | XRF005BL |
| DCS | 026 | A | DCS026AL |
| XLX | CA1 | A | XLXCA1AL |
DTMF
Control and linking can also be done using DTMF tones from your transceiver. Some standard commands include:
| Command | Action |
|---|---|
| # | Disconnect |
| 0 | Get current status |
| ** | Connect to default reflector |
When linking to a reflector, you use a sequence of tones. The first tone indicating the reflector type (See table bellow), the reflector number, and finally the module as a two digit number starting with 01 for A.
| Reflector Type | Start Code |
|---|---|
| DPlus - REF | * |
| DExtra - XRF | B |
| DCS | D |
| XLX | A |
Examples:
| Reflector Type | Reflector Number | Module | Command |
|---|---|---|---|
| REF | 001 | C | *, 0, 1, 0, 3 |
| XRF | 005 | B | B, 0, 5, 0, 2 |
| DCS | 026 | A | D, 0, 2, 6, 0, 1 |
| XLX | 170 | A | A, 1, 7, 0, 0, 1 |
