Mode 3 is similar to Mode 0 except that it is optimized for talk­
back paging applications. Upon answering the phone, the con­
troller expects a three-digit pager code. The paging sequence is
activated over the repeater transmitter, after which the caller is
. placed on the air for a programmable talkout period. The call
can be answered from the repeater and will then proceed as a
reverse patch. Otherwise, the controller will hang up after the
programmable talkout
period.
Instead of entering· the pager code, however, the caller can enter
Touch-Tone #, which restores control to Mode 0 for the remain ­
der of the call. Callers wishing to initiate a page simply enter
three digits. A caller requiring further control enters #, then
proceeds. For.example,-a caller, wishing. to go directly on the air
can enter #followed by the Control
Op~.'Offhook"
command.
A high degree of flexibility is provided in access to the repeater
and its command structure over the repeater receiver.
The optional
~ui1t-incresS
tone panel encoder/decoder, or an
external cress logic signal, in conjunction with Control Op
commands, allows
1) Carrier access and carrier control
2) Carrier access and User command control, but crcss
required for Control Operator and Programming
control
3) Carrier access, but crcss required for User Com­
.. mand, Control Operator, and Programming
control
4) CTCSS access and crcss control
. A Touch-Tone Access Mode allows users to bring the repeater
up and down-with Touch-Tone commands. The Touch-Tone
Access Mode offers' security, interference immunity, and allows
co-sharing a channel with another repeater.
When enabled by the Control Op, this mode can
be
brought up
and down by users with commands, and when brought up, can
. automatically go back down after a period of inactivity. The
Touch-Tone Access Mode timer can be set for any period up to
half an hour, or the timer can be disabled (by setting it to zero).
The Touch-Tone Access Mode can
be
used in conjunction with
crcss access as well. When in CTCSS access, the Touch-Tone
Access mode allows non-crCSS users to access the repeater.
