Alex, I operated a CAT300 with a two tone rising bubble up for about 15 years before linking that controller to another repeater last year. At that time I changed the CAT300 courtesy beep to a chime since I was getting a two tone DTMF courtesy beep through the link, indicating that the repeaters are linked. A local user on the CAT300 repeater hears the two tone DTMF plus chime as long as the repeaters are linked, and hears only the chime if the repeaters have been disconnected.
Details of the operation and combining the CAT300 with the RLS1000 are contained in the forum: http://sbarcnm.org/forum/index.php?board=3.0 A lot more info there than you need, but it explains how I used the courtesy beep as telemetry to show the state of the system - linked or unlinked. 73 - Jim W5ZIT --- On Wed, 1/7/09, Alexander N Tubonjic <[email protected]> wrote: From: Alexander N Tubonjic <[email protected]> Subject: [Repeater-Builder] CAT300DX Programming To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, January 7, 2009, 2:05 PM I'm in the process of programming up a new controller on my repeater (CAT300DX) and I think I've got everything setup the way I want it except for the courtesy tone. I was just wondering what others were using as the courtesy tone on their CAT300s. Any DTMF stings to play with and get ideas from would be appreciated. If anyone has any hints/tips/tricks/ cool ideas of things to program into the controller I'd appreciate hearing them as well. Lastly, if anyone has a copy of the CAT300DX programming software (ED-300W) they'd be willing to loan out you would be my hero. Thanks. Alex
