132: Start Reverse Patch Call-Out

There are several different ways to use the reverse autopatch. Command 133 allows you to select

what the controller should do when it detects that the phone line is ringing (when someone is

calling the controller). It can ignore the ringing (mode 0), generate a ring tone over the air without

answering the phone (mode 1), or answer the phone after a few rings (mode 2). This command is

only useful when command 133 is set for mode 2.

After the controller answers the phone, it may require you to enter a password (see command 133

for details). After the password has been entered, it will say “control”, unless you have changed

that message to something else. At that point, the controller will wait for you to enter a command.

You could enter any command, such as 026 to recall the time or 187 to log on so you can do

password-protected commands. By using this command, you can make the controller do a general

call-out or directed call-out.

<132> Start general call-out

<132> x Start directed call-out to

<132> xx user xxx

<132> xxx

If you start a general call-out, the controller will generate a ring-tone over the air. Anyone listening

can answer the call-out by entering the reverse patch answer command (135, or whatever you have

renamed it to). If no one answers the call-out, the controller will generate the ring tone a certain

number of times, then give up and say “No answer” to the person on the phone. The number of

times it will ring before giving up can be changed with command 136; it defaults to 5 rings for a

general call-out. The ring tone will normally be transmitted on port 1, but that can be changed with

command 192.

If you start a directed call-out and someone is talking on one of the ports that the call-out is going

to, the controller will generate a ring tone until they unkey. Then it will speak their callsign, “Call

for” and their callsign again, send the ring tone three times, and speak “<callsign> call for

<callsign>” again. Finally, it will ring a few more times, then give up and tell the person on the

phone “No answer”. The call-out can be answered at any time with command 135 or stopped with

the hang up command (114 or 115). The callsign for each user can be set with command 191.

Normally the call-out will be done on the transmitter connected to port 1, but that can be changed

(or directed call-out can be disabled) for each user with command 192. Command 192 can also be

used to change how many times the controller will generate the ring tone before giving up (the

default is three).

If you wish to stop either a general or directed call-out before anyone answers it, enter the hang up

code (the name of command 114 or 115). This will stop the call-out but will not cause the

controller to hang up. You can then execute command 132 to try again, or any other command. If

you wish to hang up, enter the hang up code again.
