Extending the Telephone Timer

When calling the repeater on the phone, the user may extend the telephone
timer from 15 seconds to two minutes. The command is effective only from the
telephone (nothing happens if entered over the air). This capability is useful
when calling to record or play back mail from the Digital Voice Recorder.
Command: (Telephone Timer Extend Command)
Example: Telephone Timer Extend Command = 0
User calls the repeater on the phone to load voice mail
into the Digital Voice Recorder. Controller answers the
phone. User enters "0#" to extend the controller's timer.
Controller says, "Two minutes". User may then activate the
DVR mailbox. This command may be entered more than
once if needed.

Reading Back Your Signal Strength

Assuming that an S-meter signal voltage is connected to the RC-85 controller,
users may interrogate their signal strength into the repeater. The controller
always measures the S-meter one-half second into each new transmission and
stores the reading. If the user happens to request his signal strength, the stored
reading is spoken in synthesized speech. The meter is calibrated in S units and
db from S0 to S9 plus 60.
Command: (S-meter Command)
Example: S-Meter Command = 8
User's signal strength into the repeater is S9+20
User keys down at least one half second and sends "8".
Controller says "S9 plus twenty".
Hint: Be sure to key down at least 1/2 second when entering the
command.
