Page 21: Chapter 1: Getting Started
Link Communications Inc. What Each Connector is For When you look at the back of the RLC-Club cabinet, you will see three horizontal slots. The leftmost slot provides access to the RJ-11 for the autopatch and the power jack. The middle slot is for three DB-9 connectors.
Page 22: What The Led's Represent
What the LED's Represent: The RLC-Club has 12 LED's to help you get it set up and to let you how how the repeater is being used. If you purchased the rack mount cabinet, there will be labels by the LED's to help you remember what each one means.
Page 23 5 volts to ground when a signal is present, the signal is active low. If the voltage goes from a ground to a voltage above 5 volts the signal is active high. The signal must be able to sink 4mA to ground. The input impedance of the RLC-Club COR input is 10K and it is diode clamped with internal pull-up resistors.
Page 24 - If type 1 audio is used, remove configuration jumper (Labeled J3 "-6dB Filter"). This removes the de-emphasis filter from the circuit. If you are using discriminator audio, connect J3. The filter will not allow PL to pass through the controller. Contact Link Communications Inc. if you need to pass PL through the controller.

Page 28: Serial Port Interfacing
Serial Port Interfacing The RLC-Club has a full duplex serial port for interfacing to a computer or serial terminal; it is the connector right next to the main power plug. This connection can be made with just a cable, a telephone modem, a packet TNC, or any other method that will send the serial characters back and forth (some have even used Telnet over the Internet).
Page 29 25-pin serial connector, you can use a standard 9 to 25-pin converter or wire your own cable. To wire your own, connect the RLC-Club's pins 2, 3, and 5 to the computer's 3, 2, and 7 respectively.
Page 30 Word Length Stop bits You can change the baud rate the RLC-Club uses with command 024. If you are using a modem, you may be able to set the baud rate that the modem uses to communicate with the controller to be different than the speed at which it connects to the other modem. In other words, a 2400 baud modem may be able to connect to the controller at 9600 baud and to the other modem at 2400 baud.
Page 31 8 bit mode. If all else fails, write down how your cable is wired and call Link Communications for help. After you get it working, see Appendix F for information about controlling from the serial port. Version 1.73 Copyright © 1997 Link Communications Inc. 1/18/97...

- 181 is the default command name 182: Enable/Disable RLC-DVR1 This command tells the RLC-CLUB if an RLC-DVR1 is installed. If you do not tell the controller that a DVR1 is installed, it will not work properly. If you tell the controller that a DVR1 is installed when it is not, it may cause problems, such as the transmitter coming up or staying up when it shouldn't.
Page 112: The Internal Digital Voice Recorder
The Internal Digital Voice Recorder The internal DVR is built into the RLC-Club controller. It gives you only some of the features and much less record time than the DVR1, but it should be enough for you to get your feet wet.
Page 113: 183: Record A Message On The Internal Dvr
• The audio test track defaults to using track 1, if track 1 has not been recorded. Otherwise it records on track 2. If you record a message on both tracks then do not use the test track because it will overwrite the second recorded message. Version 1.73 Copyright © 1997 Link Communications Inc. 1/18/97...
Page 114: 184: Playback An Internal Dvr Message(S)
- S is the DVR track number Notes: DVR messages can be intermixed with CW messages and the RLC-CLUB will make sure that they are sent in the right order. For example, you could write a macro that would send your call sign using the CW generator, then use the DVR to speak "Link Up".
Page 115: 052: Audio Test Using The Internal Dvr
The audio test track normally records on track 1. If track 1 is full it starts recording on track 2. If both tracks are empty the audio test track can be upto 8 seconds in length.

Page 117: Chapter 7: Serial Port Commands
Sending SPI serial data with the output lines Where the Serial Ports Are: The RLC-Club has a serial port on the motherboard (the closest DB-9 connector to the power jack) that is used for entering commands on the controller. This is called the main serial port.
Page 118 Since there is a clock line, there is no need to specify a baud rate (although there are a few timing restrictions). The RLC-Club uses the output lines on the optional Deluxe board to send this type of serial. It is sent automatically by the RBI-1 / RLC-ICM commands and can be sent manually using command 138.
Page 119: 024: Set Up Rs-232 Serial Baud Rate
024: Set Up RS-232 Serial Baud Rate This command allows you to set up the baud rate for the RLC-Club's main serial port. The baud rate for the main serial port should be set to match the computer, serial terminal, or modem that you have connected to it to program the controller with.
Page 120: 060: Set Up Serial Port Options
- Z (optional) is 1 to suppress serial (the default) or 0 to send serial caused by commands entered from DTMF - Q (optional) is 1 for queued serial (the default) or 0 to send it before continuing Version 1.73 Copyright © 1997 Link Communications Inc. 1/18/97...

Page 125: Chapter 8: Macros
Chapter 20). What a macro is: There are at least two common understandings of what a macro is. The RLC-Club currently supports the more flexible of the two types; eventually it may support both. The kind the RLC- Club supports could be called a "multiple command macro" because it provides a way to execute a sequence of internal commands in response to one command from the user.
Page 126: Limits On Macros
Call Command 000 and connect port 1 and 3 Macro 302 could call macros 303, 304 and 305. Macro 302 is nested one level deeper than 301, so it is at level 3. Call Command 038 Version 1.73 Copyright © 1997 Link Communications Inc. 1/18/97...
Page 127 5. This is about as deep as the RLC-CLUB will let you nest macros, 5 or 6 levels. If you ever exceed this limit, error macro 209 will be executed. This is the nested macro depth limit.

Kenwood series TM-X21 and TM-X31 mobile radios. The RBI-1 converts the data output by the RLC-Club into a format that the radios can use. Up to four bands can be supported by one RBI-1 interface, with one band active at a time. PL (CTCSS) encode and decode is handled by the radios.
Page 208: Using The Rbi-1 Or Rlc-Icm
If there are combinations of settings that you use often, you can program them into the memories on the Kenwood radios (if you are using the RBI-1) or you can program user macros to select those settings, making the controller's macro work like a memory. Version 1.73 Copyright © 1997 Link Communications Inc. 1/18/97...
Page 209 In the maximum configuration using a Kenwood TM-701 Dual Band Mobile you can control Frequency, CTCSS encode On/Off, RF power level, Offset, Power On/Off, and Band. This is all accomplished thru the microphone jack. The RLC-Club Format supports the following functions: • Full frequency control, 4 ports/radios, and 4 bands.

RS-232 serial port on the adapter to main serial port on the RLC-Club. This is the same serial port you can use to connect the RLC-Club to a computer, so you can only use one at a time: either the HF radio or the computer for control.
Page 230: Hf Radio Control
HF radio itself: receive frequency, transmit frequency, vfo, split, and mode. The rest of the features are provided by the RLC-Club itself. This allows the RLC-Club to provide all of those features even on radios that don't have built-in support for them.
Page 231 I am going to skip command 197. Entering "198" from the repeater on port 1 turns on HF mode and sets the frequency to 14.25 Mhz. "179" starts it scanning up fast. Kerchunking it stops the scan. "13" will turn of HF mode. Version 1.73 Copyright © 1997 Link Communications Inc. 1/18/97...

Page 302: Appendix H: Using The Lm335 Temperature Sensor
Appendix H: Using the LM335 Temperature Sensor The RLC-Club supports the National Semiconductor LM335Z temperature sensor. The sensor converts temperature into voltage. This voltage is read by the controllers ADC (Analog-Digital Convertor) which allows the controller to read a voltage. When using the LM335Z sensor, the sensor needs to be powered in order for the temperature to be read.
