Richard,

Please re-read my post. It is the USER radios that have a 30-second time
limit. The repeaters have three minutes, although they are commercial units
that can operate continuously. A user timeout will inform a long-winded
talker that his time has expired, with a tone from his speaker, while a
repeater timeout will never be noticed except by others.

30 seconds is way too short. Sounds like someone put up a repeater but wants
to discourage its use.

Incorrect. I was passing important information & the repeater timed out.
