Miscellaneous 1mprovements
The following changes have been made in VS firmware.
• Reverse patch mode 4 is added which places the caller directly on the air. The
caller can enter Touch-Tone # during the first five seconds to revert to mode
a
and be taken off the air for the remainder of the call.
(#
must be the first Touch­
Tone digit entered.) Otherwise, after five seconds, the Touch-Tone decoder
switches to the receiver to give the mobile Touch-Tone control over the radio­
telephone interconnection.
• Control Operator command 110 causes a modulo 256 "keyup counter" to be
spoken, which can provide rough information about repeater usage. The
counter is cleared by the Control Operator Reset command.
• VHF/UHF remote base frequency readback can be inhibited when * is left out
as a decimal point.
• Loading autodial locations from the phone automatically extends the
telephone timer so the controller won't hang up.
• Band units not present in your Ie-900 "stack" can be locked out from selection
to avoid potential confusion. See Appendix C, Programming Commands.
• When using the FC-900, Link 2 can be disabled if you have only one band unit
to avoid confusion. See Appendix B, Control Operator Commands.
• Bands can be swapped without Link 2 unit needing to be on.
• A band unit cannot be selected for both Link 1 and Link 2.
• If Control Receiver COS becomes active while someone is controlling on the
phone, control is returned properly to the phone after COS becomes inactive.
• The cover tone is automatically disabled if a user manually selects full duplex.
• Spare audio is properly muted by a signal on the repeater receiver.
• The unlock timer has been changed from one minute to two minutes.
• The speech letter "5" can be included in the Patch Dialing Prefix to generate
Touch-Tone "*".
• RC-96 controller Tone Panel only ... Control Operator commands 81 and 91
turn encode on and off (previously enabled and disabled decode only). The state
is stored in macro sets along with other setup information.
