| The IREAN System has two remote bases
available to users. The two remotes can be operated simultaneously and can choose two of the
three available bands; 144-148 Mhz, 222-225 Mhz and 430-450 Mhz. Each remote base is frequency
agile, PL encode agile and has seven pre-programmed favorite frequencies for easy operation.
The power output of each remote can also be adjusted using DTMF commands. Turning ON Remote Base #1 Remote Base #1 is setup for 2 meter operation and has seven of the more popular repeater frequencies programmed into it's memories for easy operation. To turn on Remote Base #1, enter the command 71. The repeater will respond with the last used frequency for that band. Selecting a memory channel for Remote Base #1 If you wanted to load a pre-programmed memory for Remote Base #1, enter the command 71 x where x is the memory number 1 through 7. Refer to Access Codes for available frequencies in memory. The repeater will respond with the frequency of the pre-programmed memory. Please note that users are required to use the 71 or 71 x command to turn on Remote Base #1 before the repeater will accept any of the following commands to control it . Remote Base #1 Transcieve To put remote base #1 into transceive mode, enter the command 72. The repeater will respond, "(selected band) transmit." The next time you key up on the input of the repeater, the remote base transmitter will key as well. The remote base transmitter will follow the input signal of the repeater. The signal going out the remote base will be stripped of any tones or squelch breaks and users on the frequency you are remoted to should not be able to tell that you are using a remote base. Selecting another band for Remote Base #1 Each remote base can select one of three available bands. Users should note, however, both Remote Base #1 and Remote Base #2 cannot select the same band unit at the same. What this means is that Remote Base #1 and Remote Base #2 cannot be connected to the 144 Mhz, 222 Mhz or 440 Mhz module at the same time. One remote base can choose from any one of the three available bands and the other remote base can select from the remaining two. To select a new band for Remote Base #1, enter the command 71 k * where k is the new band to select. k = 2 for 144-148 MHz, 3 for 222-225 MHz, 4 for 440-450 MHz and 5 for 430-440 MHz. Note that 4 and 5 both use the 440 band unit on the repeater. This means if Remote Base #1 is 440-450 then Remote Base #2 cannot be 430-440 or visa versa. Manual loading of a new frequency on Remote Base #1 There will be times when the seven preprogrammed memories will not provide enough variety to cover all interested frequencies. The repeater can set the remote bases to any frequency desired in each available band. To change frequency on Remote Base #1, enter the commad 71 m * h t f o where m is Megahertz, * is the decimal point, h is hundred of kiloHertz, t is tens of kiloHertz, f is 0 for 0 kiloHertz or 5 for 5 kiloHertz and o is for offset where 1 is minus offset, 2 is simplex operation and 3 is plus offset.
Interrogating and Setting Power Levels for Remote Base #1 Users can interrogate the current power setting and select between High and Low power on Remote Base #1. To interrogate the current power setting for Remote Base #1, enter the command 71 *. The repeater will respond with "(High/Low) power." To select High power for Remote Base #1, enter the command 71 * 1. The repeater will respond "Hi Power." To select Low power for Remote Base #1, enter thr command 71 * 0. The repeater will repsond "Lo Power." Selecting PL Encode for Remote Base #1 Users can select one of 37 different PL tones to be encoded on Remote Base #1 transmitter or turn PL encode off. Enter the command 77 xx where xx is the two digit number of the desired PL tone. Refer to Access Codes for available PL tones. Please note this command is shared across both remote bases. This means if a PL Tone is selected for Remote Base #1, the same PL is then selected for Remote Base #2. Remote Base #1 and Remote Base #2 cannot have different PL tones selected simultaneously. Turning Off Remote Base #1 When a user is done using Remote Base #1, a simple command of 73 will turn off the remote base. The repeater will respond, "(Selected Band) Off." Turning ON Remote Base #2 Remote Base #2 is setup for 440 MHz operation and has seven of the more popular repeater frequencies programmed into it's memories for easy operation. To turn on Remote Base #2, enter the command 74. The repeater will respond with the last used frequency for that band. Selecting a memory channel for Remote Base #2 If you wanted to load a pre-programmed memory for Remote Base #2, enter the command 74 x where x is the memory number 1 through 7. Refer to Access Codes for available frequencies in memory. The repeater will respond with the frequency of the pre-programmed memory. Please note that users are required to use the 74 or 74 x command to turn on Remote Base #2 before the repeater will accept any of the following commands to control it. Remote Base #2 Transceive To put remote base #2 into transceive mode, enter the command 75. The repeater will respond, "(selected band) transmit." The next time you key up on the input of the repeater, the remote base transmitter will key as well. The remote base transmitter will follow the input signal of the repeater. The signal going out the remote base will be stripped of any tones or squelch breaks and users on the frequency you are remoted to should not be able to tell that you are using a remote base. Selecting another band for Remote Base #2 Each remote base can select one of three available bands. Users should note, however, both Remote Base #1 and Remote Base #2 cannot select the same band unit at the same. What this means is that Remote Base #1 and Remote Base #2 cannot be connected to the 144 Mhz, 222 Mhz or 440 Mhz module at the same time. One remote base can choose from any one of the three available bands and the other remote base can select from the remaining two. To select a new band for Remote Base #2, enter the command 74 k * where k is the new band to select. k = 2 for 144-148 MHz, 3 for 222-225 MHz, 4 for 440-450 MHz and 5 for 430-440 MHz. Note that 4 and 5 both use the 440 band unit on the repeater. This means if Remote Base #1 is 440-450 then Remote Base #2 cannot be 430-440 or visa versa. Manual loading of a new frequency on Remote Base #2 There will be times when the seven preprogrammed memories will not provide enough variety to cover all interested frequencies. The repeater can set the remote bases to any frequency desired in each available band. To change frequency on Remote Base #2, enter the commad 74 m * h t f o where m is Megahertz, * is the decimal point, h is hundred of kiloHertz, t is tens of kiloHertz, f is 0 for 0 kiloHertz or 5 for 5 kiloHertz and o is for offset where 1 is minus offset, 2 is simplex operation and 3 is plus offset.
Interrogating and Setting Power Levels for Remote Base #2 Users can interrogate the current power setting and select between High and Low power on Remote Base #2. To interrogate the current power setting for Remote Base #2, enter the command 74* . The repeater will respond with "(High/Low) power." To select High power for Remote Base #2, enter the command 74*1. The repeater will respond "Hi Power." To select Low power for Remote Base #2, enter the command 74*0. The repeater will repsond "Lo Power." Selecting PL Encode for Remote Base #2 Users can select one of 37 different PL tones to be encoded on Remote Base #2 transmitter or turn PL encode off. Enter the command 77 xx where xx is the two digit number of the desired PL tone. Refer to the IREAN user Function Code Sheet for available PL tones. Please note this command is shared across both remote bases. This means if a PL Tone is selected for Remote Base #2, the same PL is then selected for Remote Base #1. Remote Base #2 and Remote Base #1 cannot have different PL tones selected simultaneously. Turning Off Remote Base #2 When a user is done using Remote Base #2, a simple command of 76 will turn off the remote base. The repeater will respond, "(Selected Band) Off." Passing Touch-Tones through Remote Base #1 and #2 When using the remote bases on the repeater system, there may come a time when a user needs to pass tones through the system to the repeater the remote is connected to. To pass tones through the remote base to the remote system connected to, enter the # as the first command in the command string to be sent to the remote system. |
