Program Macros
Next program a User Macro to wake-up the repeater. Use your assigned county number to program the User Code. In this example, the county number is 12. You will need to change the county code in two locations:

1)	Change the User Code to your county code plus a star for Macro 1 and 2.
2)	Change column 4 [9012] to make the voice announcement reflect the assigned county number again for Macro 1 and 2.
