I guess I should not have introduced the 'lock' and 'unlock' terminology Nate, but you are on the right track. There are a lot of different controllers and some use the lock/unlock terms and it just stuck with me - HI. Yes - to protect some of the controls from casual changes by designated control ops, Ron put those commands behind the master programming control protection. So to do the commands you are interested in, you have to issue the two 'control code enable' codes to get to the point where you can change the setting you are after. Then use the control code disable code to finish.
Actually, some controllers use a more complicated method of security than the RC-1000. For instance some of the NHRC controllers require you to enter the special programming code every time you enter any command. So the RC-1000 is not too complicated. And the NHRC controllers are not complicated either, once you get used to the programming method. The CAT controllers use a similar method to the RC-1000 but only one long sequence is used to enter the master programming mode. They place some of the commands behind a simpler control op code to allow multiple control ops to help but not have complete control of the repeater. Good luck on your controlling efforts. 73 - Jim >You refer to "lock" and "unlock", though the manual makes no reference >to this terminology, which would be self explanatory.
