Suppressing Command Responses in Macros:

There is one other time when you will often want to change the audio routing variable. Suppose

that you have programmed macro 567 to connect ports 2 and 3 to the main repeater on port 1.

Your macro would probably execute Command 000 12 D or unkey and Command 000 13 D or

unkey to do this. The voice responses from these commands would be "1 connect 2 on, 1 connect

3 on". It wouldn't take very long to get tired of hearing that long message. To replace it with a

nice short message like "link on" (word numbers 218 and 264), do the following:

Insert Command 038 (suppress audio) as the first command in the macro:

Command 059 567 00 038 D or unkey or <Enter>

If you executed the macro at this point, it would be silent.

Insert the new voice message even before that:

Command 059 567 00 036 218 264 D or unkey or <Enter>

Now the macro will do the following:

Speak the voice message "link on" (command number 036)

Suppress the audio (set the audio routing variable to no ports, command number 038)

Connect ports 1 and 2 (throws the voice responses away)

Connect ports 1 and 3 (throws the voice responses away)

The same process can be used to suppress or change the voice response from any macro. Any

commands that are executed after Command 038 in a macro will be silent.
