REPEATER OPERATION
Start-of-Activity Macro
Post-Activity Macro
Activity Counter/Timer
These commands allow you to execute macros based on the activity of the
repeater. For example, a bulletin may be sent a few minutes after the last
activity of the repeater; since the repeater was recently used, chances are
there is an audience to hear the message. If sending the bulletin after every
conversation is too repetitious, use the activity counter to select how often to
send it.
The Start of Activity Macro is executed when a fresh key-up occurs. This
event starts an "activity cycle" which ends a certain time after the tail
finishes. If activity occurs before the timer expires, the activity cycle is simply
extended. When the timer finally expires, the Post-Activity macro is
executed. The post-activity timer is programmable in duration from zero to
9.9 minutes. The activity counter, which watches the number of activity
cycles, may be programmed from zero to 9 events.
Once the activity cycle has been completed, the Start of Activity Macro is
again "armed" and ready to execute at the next key-up activity. This is true
whether or not the last post-activity macro was actually executed. It may
have been waiting for the proper activity count.
Applications for this feature include tape recording all repeater
conversations, in which case the activity count would be set to zero.
However, if a taped message is to be played every fifth usage of the
repeater, set the activity counter to 5.
NOTE: The Post-Activity Counter works as follows:
Setting the counter to 0 (zero) means that the Post-Activity Macro will
execute at each activity cycle. Setting the counter to 1 means that the Post-
Activity Macro will execute every other activity cycle, and so on. Setting the
counter to 9, therefore, means that the Post-Activity Macro will execute every
10th cycle. Also note that the Activity Timer starts when the Dropout
Message is sent.
