Repeater timeout is user programmable with the [*601*] timer programming command.
When the CAT-1000B is initialized, this timer defaults to 3 minutes. When this channel
is turned off, the repeater will not time-out.
2. Squelch Tail Enable
When this channel is enabled, the repeater's transmitter will remain on for a period
of time determined by the COR to Beep and Beep to transmitter drop timers. To make
the transmitter turn off the instant COR is lost, turn this channel OFF. This feature
is useful when linking to other repeaters or during band openings.
3. Scheduler Enable
When this channel is enabled, all action by the scheduler will be executed per the
times programmed in the scheduler table. There may be times, during emergency net
operations, when it is not desirable to have channels change automatically. To
suspend scheduler operation turn this channel off.
4. DTMF Pad Test Enable
When this channel is enabled, a repeater user is able to perform a test of their
radio's 12 or 16-button keypad. As the numbers are being decoded, they are stored in
memory. When the repeater user stops transmitting the controller will read back all
the numbers that were decoded.
5. LiTZ Emergency Alert Enable
When this channel is enabled, the ARRL sanctioned LiTZ Emergency Alert System will be
activated. Key-up and send the DTMF [0] for three seconds. The CAT-1000B will
execute Macro 40. Use the Internal Command Structure too program Macro 40 to create
the desired response. Macro 40 defaults to a two-tone paging tone.

It may be desirable to suspend the grandfather clock operation during the early
morning hours. When this channel is enabled, the last announcement will be at 11:00
PM. Time announcements will resume at 7:00 AM the next morning.
7. Courtesy Tone Enable
When this channel is enabled, a courtesy tone will occur when the COR signal is lost.
To eliminate the courtesy tone, turn this channel OFF. The timeout timer will
continue to be reset.
