Ed, We've been doing this for a long time with the S-Com Windows Programmer software out here... a master file with a macro (not to be confused with controller macros, but in the programmer software itself) that can replace digits in the file with a "site code", so our most used features will be programmed into each controller. So I guess the answer is, technically ANY controller with the capability of building custom user-definied macros has the capability you're asking for by default... the first couple of digits of the macro becomes the "site code" and the rest is standardized as the "command" part. If you're hand programming, you have to be careful to put it all in correctly. Using the programming software and pre-written files helps to keep it all straight if you have multiple sites. Macros are wonderful things -- they allow the repeater controller programmer to create "modes" or "features" that require multiple low- level events to happen in the system, that have a single (hopefully short and simple) command to trigger all those events. -- Nate Duehr - WY0X
