message. Another example: your autopatch up code is '*' and your autodial slot is number 43.

Pressing "*43" normally causes the response, "Autodial 43". You want to make it say "KC7HXB

home" instead. To do this, make a macro called "*43" and make it speak that voice response, then

make the call. '*' followed by any other number will still make it say "Autodial", but "*43" will find

the macro and cause your custom message. This technique can also be used to turn off the time out

timer for emergency numbers.

It is possible, although not recommended, to give several commands the same name. For example,

000, 009 and 036 could all be named "ABC" and the controller would always be able to figure out

which one you wanted because of the information stored in the command table. Command 000

always takes exactly two data digits, 009 never takes any, and command 036 requires three or

more. So "ABC" would select command 009, "ABC12" would select command 000 and connect

ports 1 and 2, and "ABC001002003" would make command 036 speak "one two three". This

feature is most often used when trying to clone the command codes used on a previous controller,

using more than one command on this controller.

In summary, the controller lets you name commands just about any way you want to, even if it is

confusing for you and it. It does its best to figure out what you mean, using the data length, DTMF

execution masks and passwords to eliminate some possibilities, but sometimes it is impossible. If

you can't get it to work the way you want it to, check the command names with commands 011 and

012, then start naming them back to their original names with 010 until the confusion goes away.

The most common confusion is having one command that is named the same as the beginning of

another command, so the longer one gets executed when you expected the shorter one. When all

of the commands have their original names, there is no confusion because every command has its

own unique three digit name, the command number.
