To Program Your Own ID's:
The following instructions and the above example should be enough to get your ID's programmed
for port 1. More details about how everything works internally will follow, but aren't needed just
to get started. The following commands can be entered either from a radio with a DTMF pad or
from a computer or serial terminal.
053 220 064 260 <word numbers from Appendix B>
053 228 064 260 <word numbers from Appendix B>
053 236 064 260 <word numbers from Appendix B>
053 244 064 260 <word numbers from Appendix B>
053 252 064 260 <word numbers from Appendix B>
053 260 030 <CW characters from Appendix C>
To program the ID's for port 2, just add one to each of these numbers wherever they appear in the
example: 220, 228, 236, 244, 252 and 260, as follows:
053 221 064 261 <word numbers from Appendix B>
053 229 064 261 <word numbers from Appendix B>
053 237 064 261 <word numbers from Appendix B>
053 245 064 261 <word numbers from Appendix B>
053 253 064 261 <word numbers from Appendix B>
053 261 030 <CW characters from Appendix C>
For port 3, add 2, etc. As long as you want your initial ID's to be voice and polite and your
impolite ID to be CW, you don't need to worry about what the above commands do. If you want
to do something different, read the following section.
More about Programming ID's:
The above instructions for programming ID's are typical of how all of the macros in the controller
can be programmed. It may look complicated at first, but it all follows a pattern. The 053 at the
beginning of each line tells the controller to erase anything that might already be in the macro
because you want to start over and put the following stuff in instead. The next three digits are the
number of the macro. A list of all of the macros can be found in Chapter 8. Then comes the stuff
that gets put into the macro. 064 and 030 are command numbers - you can look them up elsewhere
in this manual - that speak polite voice messages and send CW messages. The rest of the line is
information that is used by command 064 or 030 when the macro is executed. 064 need to know
two things: what message to speak, and what to do if you key up during the message. The first
three digits after the 064 is the number of the impolite ID macro, which is usually CW; that is what
064 does if you key up during the message. The rest of the digits are the word numbers that tell it
what to say. 030 doesn't need to know what to do if you key up while it is sending CW, so it just
needs to know what CW characters you want to send. Chapter 8 has more information about
programming macros and commands 064 and 030 have more information about the information
they need.
Some variations on these macros would be:
Make all of the ID's CW. To do this, use 030 and CW character numbers rather than 064, just
like the impolite ID macro in the example.
