Page 15: Product Description
• The 7K is fully remotely programmable via DTMF commands over the telephone or receiver ports—eliminating the inconvenience of returning EPROMs, microcontroller ICs, and boards to the factory for reprogramming.
Page 16: Standard Hardware Features
3/4" high and 7" deep, allowing installation in any rack (including slim Motorola racks). Main Board The 7K Main Board measures 6" deep by 9-3/4" wide, and can operate as a stand-alone controller. The digital portion of the board contains the microprocessor, memory, logic input/output, and real-time clock circuits. The analog portion contains the DTMF encoder/decoder, audio crosspoint switch, tone synthesis, and audio interface circuits.
Page 17: Audio Delay Module
DTMF tone bursts from repeated audio. As many as two DADMs may be installed in the cover of the 7K cabinet, one each for receiver #1 and receiver #2. The DADM delays the audio from 12 to 197 milliseconds, adjustable via a dip switch.
Page 18: Clock And Calendar
Command Language Commands are given to the 7K with an easy-to-use DTMF language. Security is enhanced with a Password (PW) system, as well as programmable restrictions on DTMF decode operation. A library of Macros may be defined for repeater users.
Page 19: Getting Started
Getting Started Chapter 2 Getting Started In this section, we will assume that you have either completed the installation of the controller into the repeater, or you are simulating a repeater with switches for COR signals, LEDs for PTT loads, and so on. To perform the installation of your new controller, see the Installation appendix on page C-1.
Page 20: Cold Start
7K • Chapter 2 There may be other occasions when you will need to initialize the controller. Some examples follow: • The programming password was never written down, and was forgotten by the programmer. • A general erasing of all programming is desired, since the controller is being transferred to a new repeater and will receive all new programming.
Page 21: Programming Fundamentals
Programming Fundamentals Chapter 3 Programming Fundamentals Note: Throughout this manual, numerous Programming Tables are used to facillitate programming the controller. Most of these tables are reprinted in Appendix A (on page A-1). Additionally, all commands used in this book appear in the Command Quick Reference on page A-25.
Page 22: Valid Digit And Time Detection
7K • Chapter 3 Valid Digit and Time Detection As shipped from the factory, the DTMF decoder requires about 40mS to detect a valid digit. The microprocessor scans the decoder once every 10mS to see if a digit has been detected. Thus, it can take about 50mS to store a valid digit.
Page 23: Example Control Command
Programming Fundamentals Following the security password is a Root Number, and sometimes, a Post-Root Number. (Some of the tables in this manual use the term “Code” to mean root number or post-root number.) • The root number tells the controller which function the user wishes to program.
Page 24: Command Response Messages
7K • Chapter 3 • The security password in this example is 99, the default password. The password tells the controller that you are a legitimate programmer. • The root number is 63. This root number tells the controller that you wish to control a software switch.
Page 25: Special Keys
Programming Fundamentals Special Keys There are two keys on your 12-button or 16-button DTMF keyboard which have special meanings to the controller. They are the star (*) and pound (#) keys. (Technically, the # is called an octothorpe, but we’ll just call it a Pound.). These two characters are not allowed to be part of a password or macro name, and they won't be found in root numbers or data digits.
Page 26: Dtmf Interdigit Timer
7K • Chapter 3 • There is no acknowledgment message sent by the controller when a command is cleared. • Any digits following the (#) digit will be considered a new command. DTMF Interdigit Timer The controller uses a DTMF Interdigit Timer for the purpose of clearing the command buffer if a command is not completely entered.
Page 27: Messages
Messages Chapter 4 Messages The controller uses Messages to communicate with users of the repeater. Most of the controller's messages are remotely programmable via DTMF commands. Messages may be composed of combinations of CW (Morse) characters, beeps, DTMF characters, synthesized speech words, and various paging formats.
Page 28: Control Characters
7K • Chapter 4 Control Characters Control Characters are small code groups which you place into a message to give instructions to the message handler. The message handler recognizes control characters because they always begin with 99. When the message handler encounters a group of characters which begin with 99, it looks at the digits immediately following the 99 for the instructions.
Page 29: Routing And Unrouting Control Characters
Messages Control Character Definitions Control Character Definition 9900 CW characters follow 9910 beep characters follow 9920 single-tone page follows 9930 two-tone page follows 9940 5/6-tone page follows 9950 DTMF characters follow 9960 synthesized speech characters follow 9981 route this message to transmitter #1 mixed 9982 route this message to transmitter #1 not mixed (clear) 9983...
Page 30: Examples
7K • Chapter 4 You can override these default conditions, since the “route” and “don’t route” (Unroute or Cancel Route) control characters have higher priority than the defaults. Specifying any routing will automatically cancel the default routing. Examples You can stack up routing and unrouting codes within a message, and you can change your routing within a message.
Page 31: Synchronizing Messages And Commands
Messages program to be sure the controller follows your wishes. Most users expect CW messages, beeps and perhaps speech messages to be mixed with repeat audio, since sending them unmixed would mute repeat audio for the duration of the message. However, pages, announcements, and so forth, may be sent unmixed to ensure they are received and decoded properly.
Page 32: Cw Messages
7K • Chapter 4 CW Messages Control Character When building a CW Message, the control character 9900 should be entered before the actual CW characters. If a message does not begin with a control character, the message handler will assume that the message should be sent in CW.
Page 33: Speed Change
Messages Frequency Change feature, it is a good practice to specify the frequency for each CW message If you wish to change the CW frequency for all CW messages, see the Select Frequency of CW command on page 4-11. Speed Change The CW sending speed in WPM (words per minute) may be changed before, or during, a CW message.
Page 34: Cw Alphanumeric Characters
7K • Chapter 4 CW Alphanumeric Characters The controller features a library of 54 alphanumeric CW characters, which are comprised of numerals 0–9, letters A–Z, punctuation, and standard Morse abbreviations. • Each character is represented by a 2-digit code from 00 to 53.
Page 35: Cw Punctuation And Related Characters
Messages CW Punctuation and Related Characters The following table shows CW Punctuation and Related Characters and the proper control characters (codes). CW Punctuation and Related Characters Control Character 9900 Character/Parameter Symbol Code period comma fraction question word space space end-of-message (AR) wait (AS)

Page 42: Beep Messages
7K • Chapter 4 Beep Messages Control Character The control character 9910 must be entered before the actual beep characters when building a beep message. Note: Any message that does not have a control character will be interpreted as a CW message.
Page 43: Factory-Fixed-Frequency Beeps
Messages Factory-Fixed-Frequency Beeps Forty-eight (48) beeps have been defined in frequency but have variable duration. These beeps are programmed with the character codes 00–47 and cover almost four octaves from 262Hz to 3951Hz. It is best to avoid beeps below 300Hz and above 3000Hz, since most radio systems are designed for 300–3000Hz response.
Page 44: Owner-Fixed Frequency Beeps
7K • Chapter 4 Owner-Fixed Frequency Beeps Six (6) beeps are definable in frequency by the owner, and have variable duration. The beeps default to factory-selected frequencies upon a cold start. The frequencies may be changed, and the new frequencies will be retained upon a warm start.
Page 45 Messages Select Frequency of Owner-Fixed Frequency Beeps Changes the frequency (pitch) of the CW. • Enter the password, followed by the 4-digit root number shown, followed by the 4-digit tone code for your desired frequency. • The tone code is taken from the Tone Code Table on page A-20. Do not omit leading zeroes.
Page 46 7K • Chapter 4 Examples: Let's change the frequency of beep 48 to 600Hz. The tone code for 600Hz is 1667. The command is: (PW) 06 01 1667 * 4-20...
Page 47: Custom Beeps
Messages Custom Beeps Custom Beeps are defined on-the-fly in both frequency and duration. • An 8-digit character, 57xxxxyy, defines the custom beep. • The four digits following the 57, shown as xxxx, represent the frequency and are taken from the Tone Code Table on page A-20. •...
Page 48: Beep Duration Change Characters
7K • Chapter 4 Note: Any time a beep gap change character is entered, its duration is remembered by the message handler. When the automatic beep gap ON character is encountered, the message handler will use the duration that it remembered from the previous beep gap change character.
Page 49: Automatic Beep Gap Off Character
Messages Automatic Beep Gap OFF Character The Automatic Beep Gap OFF Character, 55, causes the message handler to send the beeps that follow in a series without any gaps between them. Defaults Upon a cold start, the following defaults will be forced: •...
Page 50: Two-Tone Sequential Page Messages
7K • Chapter 4 Two-Tone Sequential Page Messages Control Character the control character 9930 must be entered before the actual page code when building a Two-Tone Sequential Page Message. If several two-tone pages are to be sent, the control character 9930 must exist before each two-tone page code.
Page 51: Five/Six-Tone Page Messages
Messages Five/Six-Tone Page Messages Control Character The control character 9940 must be entered before the actual page code when building a 5/6-Tone Page Message. If several 5/6-tone pages are to be sent, control character 9940 must exist before each 5/6-tone page code. Format The format for five/six-tone page messages is as follows: •...

Page 53: Dtmf Characters
Messages DTMF Characters There are 16 DTMF Characters: numerals 0 through 9, letters A through D, and the symbols (*) and (#). Each character has a two-digit code, shown in the DTMF Characters Table which follows (reprinted on page A-8). Enter the appropriate two-digit code for each DTMF character that you wish to send.
Page 54: Dtmf Custom Duration Change Characters
7K • Chapter 4 DTMF Custom Duration Change Characters The easiest way to change the duration of the DTMF characters is to use the 2- digit codes mentioned above. However, you may require other durations, so the controller allows you to choose a Custom DTMF Duration Change. This parameter may be set from 10mS to 9900mS (9.9seconds).
Page 55: Dtmf Pause Characters
Messages • Use the code “53xx,” where xx is a number from 01 to 99 to get durations from 100mS to 9900mS. Once you change the DTMF gap, it will stay at the new value indefinitely, or until changed again by another code. Note: If you intend to program a large number of DTMF pages with varying tone durations and, it would be a good idea to set up the proper duration values at the beginning of each individual page.
Page 56: Dtmf Custom Changes (Duration Gap Pause)
7K • Chapter 4 • Use the code “55xx,” where xx is a number from 01 to 99 to get durations from 100mS to 9900mS. Note: Since each DTMF character is followed by a DTMF gap, be sure to add the DTMF gap duration to the DTMF pause duration if you want an accurate idea of the time between two DTMF pages.
Page 57: Dtmf Character Set Tables Explained
Messages DTMF Character Set Tables Explained The preceding section is somewhat complicated. Therefore, in an effort to clarify some of the main points, the following explanation is given. Format. The page begins with a 1.0-second delay, unless it was preceded with a page.
Page 58 7K • Chapter 4 You can change the durations and gaps anywhere in the message. Here is a page with 1, 2, 3 sent at 50mS/50mS and A, B, C sent at 150mS/100mS with a 1-second pause between the two pages:...
Page 59: Synthesized Speech Messages
Messages Synthesized Speech Messages Control Character The control character 9960 must be entered before the actual speech word codes when building a synthesized speech message. Format The format for Synthesized Speech Messages is as follows: • Enter the control character 9960. •...
Page 60: Tone Code Table Explained
7K • Chapter 4 the tone sine wave in microseconds. Tone codes may be either taken from the Tone Code Table or calculated. Tone Code Table Explained The Tone Code Table was created to simplify your programming efforts by listing frequencies from 100Hz to 3KHz (in 5Hz increments), and the appropriate tone code for each frequency.
Page 61: Run-Time Variables
Messages Run-Time Variables Run-Time Variables (RTV) are small code groups which you place into a message to be expanded at “run time” (the instant the message is actually transmitted by the controller). The message handler recognizes run-time variables because they always begin with 98. When the message handler encounters an RTV, it forms the appropriate message and transmits it in place of the RTV code.
Page 62 7K • Chapter 4 A feature of the clock and calendar RTVs is that the current time and date are read and stored at the first RTV encountered in a message. If the time or date “rolls over” during the message transmission, it will not affect the time or date being sent.

Page 79: Macros
Macros Chapter 6 Macros One of the most powerful features of your controller is its ability to store and recall strings of commands in memory areas. These strings of commands are called Macros. The names of the macros, and their contents, are fully programmable.
Page 80: Names Of Macros
7K • Chapter 6 digits, or two commands totalling 98 digits, or three commands totalling 96, and so forth. If the amount of memory remaining in a macro is insufficient to store a desired command, there may still be enough room to store the name of another macro.
Page 81: Sequence Of Execution
Macros and by simply entering the name of the master macro, you will cause all of them to be executed. Sequence of Execution When a macro is executed, the commands (or other macro names) stored in that macro are executed in the order they were stored. For example, assume that a certain macro contains a programming command, then a macro name, then another programming command.
Page 82 7K • Chapter 6 Whenever the macro name is entered, the controller will dial the telephone number and announce the call as you programmed it. Autodials are great for club members who often call family or friends. Emergency autodials can also be created.

Page 85: Command Append To Macro
Macros Append To Macro This command is used to attach additional commands to a macro. • The macro name (to be appended) must already exist in the directory. • The stored information, shown below as Command, in the command form section, may be a control command or another macro name (if you wish to chain together several macros).
Page 86 7K • Chapter 6 Additional commands may be appended to a macro until the storage space for that macro is used up. • If more commands are needed than can fit into a single macro, simply append the name of another macro to the original macro.
Page 87: Command: List Macro In Cw Or Speech
Macros List Macro Examines the contents of a macro and sends it in either CW or speech. • Entering one of these commands causes the controller to send all stored digits in CW or speech. In CW the (*) character is sent as a fraction bar (/); in speech, the (*) character is sent as the word “enter”.

Page 95: Telephone Interface Functions
Telephone Interface Functions Chapter 7 Telephone Interface Functions This section of the manual describes the autopatch, phone line control mode, and reverse patch features of your controller. We use the term Autopatch to describe a telephone call originated by the repeater user. Reverse Patch calls are originated by a telephone user.
Page 96: Autopatch
7K • Chapter 7 Autopatch Your controller has many features that allow you to customize the operation of the autopatch. The following discussion is simply an overview of autopatch operation. Details begin on page 7-3. Accessing the Autopatch The Autopatch can be accessed in several ways: •...
Page 97: Dumping The Autopatch
Telephone Interface Functions after an Access Autopatch command. (The Access Autopatch commands begin on page 7-28.) • Other commands you might want to use during an autopatch include: Dump Autopatch Using a Code (page 7-15), Redial Last Number (page 7-44), Reset Autopatch Timeout Timer (page 7-26), or even access the patch to place a new call (entering a new call while already in an autopatch will cause the original call to be dumped and a new call to be dialed).
Page 98: Examples

7K • Appendix C optional Speech Synthesizer Module requires approximately 180mA more. Power can be unregulated, since the controller contains internal regulators to create both a 10VDC audio supply and a 5VDC digital supply. A third supply of 4.5VDC is created from the audio supply, and is used as the audio section’s bias voltage.

Page 362 2V threshold as the incoming carrier is applied and removed. The third resistor mentioned above is R12 (4.7K), which is a “pullup” resistor connected between the input pin and the controller’s +5V supply. The purpose of the pullup resistor is to provide input current for the transistor in installations using dry contacts, or an open- collector transistor driver, to feed the COR input.

+12V supply, its collector goes to the transmitter’s PTT input, and its base goes to the controller’s PTT output through a 2K resistor (important). • Connect a 4.7K resistor across the PNP transistor’s base and emitter. • If the transmitter draws little current through its PTT (500mA or less), you can use a 2N2904.
Page 364: Repeater Receiver Audio
7K • Appendix C • If the transmitter keys when the PTT input is opened and unkeys when the PTT input is driven low, place DIP Switch #7 in the OFF (open) position. Repeater Receiver Audio The controller requires audio from the repeater receiver. Connect the audio from the repeater receiver to Pin #1 of J2 (the female DB25S connector).
Page 365: Repeater Transmitter Audio
Installation After you have completed the repeater receiver audio interfacing, check the audio level at Pin #1 of U37A. It should be 700mV RMS (2V p-p) when the receiver is fed a fully- deviated 1KHz sine wave tone from a service monitor. Repeater Transmitter Audio Your transmitter will require audio from the controller.
Page 366: Repeater Ctcss Decoder
7K • Appendix C Repeater CTCSS Decoder CTCSS, or Continuous Tone-Controlled Squelch System, is a convenient problem solver for those bands that are being crowded with repeaters in various parts of the country. In addition, the controller allows CTCSS to be used as a qualifier for the entry of DTMF commands to increase the security of the repeater system.
Page 367: Control Receiver Cor
Installation Control Receiver COR A control receiver is a wise addition to your repeater system, as it allows you to control the repeater on a frequency other than the repeater’s input. Users of the repeater will not notice any change in operation while the control channel is occupied, except that the repeater will not accept any of their DTMF commands.

15VDC. The amount of current drawn by the controller depends upon the configuration. • The 7K Main Board draws less than 125 mA. • The Telephone Interface Module draws negligible current. • The Speech Synthesis Module draws about 180 mA.

• The sleeve forms the negative (-) connection. Note: Owners of alternatively-powered repeaters (solar, fuel cell, battery, etc.) should be aware that the 7K has been designed to behave predictably when the DC power source is slowly reduced. Such behavior is important to prevent damage to the energy source.

7K • Appendix C Repeater Transmitter PTT section on page C-5 for details on the design of the output circuit. The power MOSFETS used as logic output drivers appear as 5Ω resistances to ground when in the conducting state (ON), and can sink up to 75mA. They appear as open circuits when in the non-conducting state (OFF).

Installation If the CW message is still too loud with the pot turned nearly all the way down, you may be attempting to drive the microphone input of the transmitter instead of a later stage. If you cannot drive a later stage, check the Transmitter Audio Output on page C-7 for hints for decreasing the transmitter drive level.

7K • Appendix C digit can be severely clipped while the low frequency tone is not. The result is twist, and the solution is to keep the DTMF pad audio at a reasonably low level. Twist can also be introduced by the repeater receiver if it has poor audio response, or if a poor impedance match exists between the receiver and the controller.
Page 379: Falsing
Installation Falsing Some user’s voices can contain frequency components that appear as DTMF digits to the decoder. If such a digit is detected, falsing is said to occur. If the DTMF muting feature is enabled, the result of falsing is the loss of repeat audio for a syllable or two.
