5. PROGRAMMING
The RLR-460 Repeater may be programmed with a transmit frequency, receive frequency, QC code, DQC
code, and a variety of other features. Some of these other features are:
Transmit time-out timer This feature determines how long the unit may transmit continuously
before the transmitter automatically shuts off.
Tone signaling turn-off time This is the time (in addition to “hang-time” with tone) that no tone
is transmitted after the Repeater ceases to detect an incoming carrier.
Morse code identifier The repeater can be programmed to transmit a Morse code identifier
at a specified time interval after activity.
5.1 PROGRAMMING SETUP

with the RITRON adapter cable. Insert the software diskette into the floppy disk drive and load the
software program. The software includes on-screen instructions and Help files. You can also program
added Repeaters identically by saving data to the computer hard drive. It is recommended that the
