Waht will the "revert" setting on a stored voice do??

We had our programmed by a local moto shop. Been back 4 times. Still not right.


I acquired the programmer and other stuff.

They are currently set for 80 seconds of stored voice, but set to "revert N" , at 8.xx seconds.

Any help, greatly appreciated. As the screw up always seems to end up in the chief's hands.

I *think* the Revert N feature holds the unit "open" for N seconds after loss of carrier rather than muting as soon as carrier is lost. I've slept since I last set ours up, so I can't remember exactly. Punch F1 - maybe the help will give you some clues?

I know I had to use the Revert N feature because our dispatch is notorious for punching the tones twice (which means you get two stored-voice recordings for each dispatch), then waiting quite a few seconds after the second tone (letting the repeater drop, of course) to actually read the call out (where they tend to dispatch in pyramid style - give you 47 details you don't need, then two minutes later finally tell you that it's a 737 crashed in a field somewhere )

If that doesn't help, let me know and I'll do further research. You will need to "play" with the programming settings a bit to get them tweaked the way you like them. I used my service monitor to generate tones (1mW on the repeater output) to get ours the way I wanted them.

I looked at the "help" file. I currently have one set to "revert". I will try that. If not any good, i will try "revert N" and specify time as long as i can go.

Our shop has not been selling too many of these lately. Go figure. Most are trying to get as many miles out of there minnie 2's as they can, or going other routs.

Thanks.

Revert N is a timimg setting to revert back to monitor mode. Our dispatch has a gap between the tones and the time they start talking. We use the "N" to allow the store voice to continue recording...Hope this helps
