The MTR2000 contains a very capable controller which includes the power-reduction feature when on battery backup, along with an optional alarm tone to advise users of the condition. The programming software package contains a fairly good tutorial about how to program the station. I will gladly answer any specific questions.
I make no secret of my disdain for "bells and whistles" like clever courtesy tones, autopatch, and voice announcements. I work primarily in commercial and public-safety radio systems where such "features" have no place. In my limited experience (40+ years) the majority of equipment failures have been in the add-ons, not in the commercial equipment. However, as Patrick Swayze said in the movie "Roadhouse", opinions vary. That was a great movie, by the way. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of barrypal Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2007 5:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: MTR2000 Thanks Eric. Can you refer me to anywhere on this site that might contain all the features of the internal controller? Screen shots or text.. If using an external controller on the MTR2000 one might not have ability to reduce the power setting under battery operation unless the external could do that or is that inherent in the system regardless of controller? We have ordered from HCI our vhf MTR2000 along with the Argus battery revert.
