heard. Enter the control operator prefix code [100], followed by a [#]. The voice
will say: "CONTROL READY." Enter the modem activation command [*9#] to hear the modem

"cat1000."
300 Baud Modem Auto Answer
Call the repeater by telephone. When the CAT-1000B answers the phone a beep will be
heard. Enter the control operator prefix code [100], followed by a [#]. The voice
will say: "CONTROL READY." Turn on Zone 5 channel 6, enter [561#], (Modem Automatic
Answer Enable). Exit the control operator mode by entering [*0#]. The CAT-1000B is
now set to answer the next telephone ring by automatically placing the modem tone on
the line. This mode is identical to calling a computer store bulletin board service.
Program your computer to dial the repeater's telephone line. Watch for the "CONNECT"
prompt. Press the carriage return and the screen will display the "PASSWORD" prompt.
Enter the default password "cat1000."
Power Up Macro
Whenever +12VDC is applied to the controller and the voice power-up message is
finished, the CAT-1000B will execute macro 39. This macro can be programmed to
perform a series of commands. See Figure 5-1.
LiTZ Emergency Alert
LiTZ is a new system promoted by the ARRL to provide a means for a repeater user to
request emergency assistance without being familiar with the operation of the
repeater. If a repeater user transmits a DTMF [0] for three seconds, the CAT-1000B
will alert the repeater's control operators. Upon receipt of a LiTZ request, the CAT-
1000B executes macro 40. Macro 40 defaults to a paging tone. This macro can be
reprogrammed to alert the control operators with a voice message and or DTMF tones.
Repeater ID #1 (At Rest)
If the repeater has been at rest for a period in excess of the ID timer setting,
typically ten minutes, when the repeater is keyed, the CAT-1000B will send ID #1.
This ID should be longer than ID #2 and include additional information about the
repeater or sponsoring organization. Example: "WITH ONE HUNDRED WATTS OF RF POWER AT
YOUR SERVICE THIS IS THE W4XYZ REPEATER SYSTEM -- GOOD AFTERNOON".
Repeater ID #2 (Active)
If a QSO is in progress and it's time to identify the repeater, the CAT-1000B will
wait until COR drops to send ID #2. This ID should be short so as not to interfere
with the QSO in progress. Example: "W4XYZ REPEATER." This ID is also called as the
final ID of the ten-minute period.
Unique Courtesy Tones
The CAT-1000B determines which courtesy tone to send by reading Voice Message Buffers
11 and 12. Since the courtesy tones are assigned a three-digit number and called from
a voice message, any three-digit voice word in the vocabulary list from Chapter 11 can
be used as the courtesy tone. This includes: chimes, sound effects and even words
like "OVER". The choice is yours.
