This command allows users to terminate commands entered via the
repeater receiver (RX1) by releasing the PTT button (COR drop). If not
allowed, then the star "*" character is required to terminate a command.
Whether or not the carrier drop method is enabled, the * character can
always be used to terminate a command.
If the COR drop method is desired, enter two data digits in the range 01 to
99, representing 0.1 to 9.9 seconds. This is the amount of time after the
COR drop is sensed that the command will be executed. To disable the
COR drop method, thereby requiring the * character for command
termination, enter two zeros (00).

* character required to terminate commands.
To turn on the carrier-drop termination feature and set the delay to 1.0
seconds, enter:
(PW) 99 10 *
Remember, the * character can still be used to terminate a command. This
is important if weak signals are holding the COR up.
Some delay is needed for this feature to work properly; without it, a
momentary loss of carrier could terminate a command before it's completely
entered. But delays greater than a few seconds are not practical, because
the incoming command must be terminated before the DTMF Interdigit Timer
expires. And, since some user transmitters don't drop quickly after the last
DTMF character, more time elapses before the carrier drops.
