Selecting the Cover Tone for Semi-private Patch

The controller offers a "cover tone" available during patches which results in
muting of the mobile audio through the repeater replaced by the cover tone. The
cover tone offers a degree of privacy by allowing only one side of the conversation
to be heard on the air (the telephone side). The cover tone may be selected by
the Control Operator to be always on, to be user selectable, or to be disabled.
To activate the cover tone if in the user selectable mode, enter the Cover Tone
Command before or during a patch. The cover tone selection is cancelled at the
end of the patch and may be selected again for the next patch.
Command: (Patch Utility Prefix) *2
Example: Patch Utility Prefix = *, and User Selectable
User enters "* *2" before or during a patch.
Controller responds with "C", and the cover tone is
activated for the next / current patch.

Extending the Patch Timer

When the user is notified by the controller that he has "30 seconds left", he may
extend the patch timer with the Timer Extend command. Entering the Timer
Extend command reloads the patch timer with the value defined by the repeater
owner, allowing indefinite extension of the patch.
Command: (Patch Utility Prefix) *3
Example: Patch Utility Prefix = *
User sends "* *3" during patch after the controller
informed him that "30 seconds left", i.e. that the timer has
almost expired.
Controller says "Timer X" and reloads patch timer with
the Patch Timer Extend value.
Hints: The controller waits until the mobile is listening before saying,
"30 seconds left", to be sure he has an opportunity to
extend the timer.
