Subject: [NHRC-user] Problems with TS-32
Message-ID: <000201c797ca$1c9df390$0201a8c0@mainpc>
I have an NHRC-3 with a TS-32 tone board. The tone board seems to be acting
up.
I need the repeater to encode a 123.0 Hz tone to trigger my EchoLink link
radio. It had been working fine, until yesterday. The repeater is in my
attic and I suspect the heat did it in (the temp was 86 outside and likely
exceeded 100 F in the attic).
This morning, while it was cooler, I got 90% of the signal encoded. When it
gets hot (ambient temp), 0%-10% gets encoded. I suspect I just need to get a
new tone board. If this is the consensus, I suspect I should get the TS-64.
Could the problem be elsewhere? I want to make sure the tone board is the
issue before I replace it. It is decoding just fine.

Subject: update on tone encode problem
Update on the tone encoder issue. I swapped out the TS-32 with another tone
board and the problem is persisting. I have an NHRC-4 controller I can use
to swap out the NHRC-3, but I don't know if I am headed in the right
direction. I think I may need to try some alternate tones first.
Does anyone have any ideas which way I should proceed on this issue?

Uhhh, could it be a problem with your transmitter exciter?
Typically the encoder tone does not run through the repeater controller.

Magically, the tone encoder on the new board started working flawlessly.
Will monitor and see what happens next. I'll have to test it again on a hot
day.
Thanks,

Subject: [NHRC-user] TAIL BEEP
Message-ID: <000c01c7a3e8$783be5c0$8669acce@doctor5729a0df>
I have recently set up a new NHRC-5 controller on our repeater. Everything has gone well except for programing a tail courtesy beep on the main repeater. I wish to use the tone described in the manual as tone code 05 tone A4. I find the manual some what confusing in the area of courtest beeps and cannot seem to find the proper string to enter in order to change the default tail beep.
Thanks all..
Jack..!!

Jack,
To reprogram the courtesy tone, you first need to unlock the controller.
Then, following page 27 of the NHRC-5 manual, you would enter: *71 where is the courtesy tone number to play or program.
The valid range of values is 0 to 7. And is up to four
sets of duration and tone. Duration is in 10 ms increments, valid range is
01-98. Both digits must be specified. Tone is set from the codes listed on
page 49.
For example, to reprogram the main receiver courtesy tone for a single tone
of A4, for a duration of 50 ms, you would first unlock the controller, then
enter *7100505 - where "*71" is for the courtesy tone program/playback code,
"0" is for the main receiver courtesy tone, "05" is for the 50ms duration
(in 10ms increments) and "05" is for the A4 tone.
You can play back the courtesy tone to verify that it programmed OK by
entering *710.
When programming is complete, send # to relock the controller.
Hope this helps.

Richard Cox / N1LTL
