| Voice Synthesizer
A [290] word vocabulary carefully selected
for amateur repeater operation is available to construct [20] different
voice messages. Each message can be [15] words in length. Configure
your repeater ID and announcements to suit your particular needs and
also have available general purpose messages .
DTMF Key-Pad Test
The key-pad test, available on all ports,
will read back the numbers decoded in a synthesized voice. This includes
the words "STAR" and "POUND".
Courtesy Tones
The CAT-400 provides individual courtesy
tones for both the repeater and remote base ports. Different courtesy
tones can be selected to indicate port activity.
CW ID
The CAT-400 will switch to a CW ID when a
user talks over the voice ID.
Repeater Timers
Twenty-Three timers control repeater operation.
Each timer is user programmable to afford maximum flexibility to suit
your requirements. They are: System ID Timer, System Pending ID Timer,
Port #1, #2, #3 and Port #4 Timeout Timers, Programming Length Timer, DTMF
Access Sleep Timer, Port #1 #2, #3 and #4 Inactivity Timer, COR drop to
courtesy beep timer and Courtesy beep to transmitter drop timer, Pre-Voice
Delay Timer, Turn on Delay Timer, and DTMF Muting Timer.
Link Transceiver Control
The CAT-400 offers full control of the link
port. You can turn the link transceiver on and off, through the
repeater or remote base port. Separate codes are available for
each on/off function.
Computer Interface / Firmware Update
The CAT-400, includes a RS-232 port. This communication
port is used to upload new firmware updates available on the C.A.T.
website at www.catauto.com. You never need to change ROMs again. This
RS-232 port is also used to upload a new program prepared by the CAT-400
Editor.
CAT-400 Windows® Editor Program
The optional editor program provided on CDROM
is used to manage the data file. The editor will work with any computer
using a windows® 98, Me, 2000 (or greater) operating system. Use
the program to display and make changes to the CAT-400 memory. Once
changed, the memory can be up loaded into the controller. Click here
(ED400W) for more information.
DTMF Decoder
Four DTMF decoders, one for each port, insures
reliable decoding of control and programming commands.
Port Configuration
Configure the three transceiver ports for Simplex
or Duplex operation.
Logic Inputs
Four logic inputs activated by a voltage
change from other equipment at the repeater site, causes the CAT-400
to activate event macros. One event macro will activate on the positive
trigger edge while another macro will trigger on the trailing edge.
Output Switches
Four switches are available to control equipment
at your repeater site. Controlled manually by DTMF commands or from
a macro command, they can be made to turn ON, OFF or Momentarily change
state.
Repeater Control Channels
The CAT-400 has 64 remote control channels.
Divided into groups, according to their function, they can be manually
controlled through the repeater input. They are:
