Dual DTMF Decoders
Two DTMF decoders insure that even when the
repeater is in use, the CAT-700B will accept commands to enable and disable
the link from the link side.
Macros
By entering a macro number,
the CAT-700B will execute up to ten commands in a string. Store up to 40 macros
in memory. Customize the control functions to suit your needs.
Active Memory Save
Configure the CAT-700B
for day time, night time, emergency net and severe weather operation. Save
the control channels, prefix codes, timers and the first twelve voice messages.
Space is provided for six memory saves. These memory saves can be recalled
by the schedular or manually with a DTMF command.
Hardware Inputs
Four hardware inputs
activated by a voltage from other equipment at the repeater site, causes
the CAT-700B to execute any repeater command. External repeater control
or information about the repeater site will be instantly available.
User Function Switches
Four switches control
equipment at your repeater site. Controlled manually by DTMF commands,
or by the scheduler, they can be made to turn OFF, ON or Momentarily change
state, any time you choose.
DTMF Command Generator
Store forty DTMF
commands in the CAT-700B memory. These commands can be sent manually or
automatically by programming the scheduler.
DTMF Regenerator
The CAT-700B will mimic your DTMF input. In sophisticated
repeater systems, it is often necessary to pass DTMF commands to distant
repeaters within the linking system. The CAT-700B will swallow your tones
and then regenerate the tones free of noise and distortion. This will insure
reliable control of your linking network.
Repeater CTCSS Override
When the repeater
is in the CTCSS mode, a user without a CTCSS encoder can activate the repeater
by entering a special DTMF access command. The voice synthesizer will say: "OK
UP" and controller will respond to a carrier input. After a short
period of inactivity, the controller will revert to the CTCSS mode.
Repeater Control Channels
The CAT-700B has 64 remote control channels. Divided
into groups of eight, according to their function, they can be manually controlled
through the repeater.
Repeater Programming
An extensive set
of programming commands permits you to customize your repeater’s operation.
Protection is provided by a user programmable [7] digit un-lock number.
Once un-locked, use the programming commands to set the clock, program
the CW ID and voice messages, load link frequencies and change prefix codes
and timer settings.
Serial Interface
The CAT-700B includes
a 4800 baud RS-232 port. When connected to a computer the entire contents
of memory can be up-loaded or down loaded to be displayed and changed with
the optional Windows Editor.
Repeater Control Prefix
Thirteen prefix numbers control repeater operation.
Each prefix is programmable from one to seven digits depending on the security
you require.
Repeater Timers
A total of sixteen timers control repeater operation.
Each timer is user programmable to afford maximum flexibility to suit your
requirements. Short timers can be set to a maximum of 10 seconds in 0.1
second steps, while long timers have 1.0 second resolution up to 30 minutes.
Digital Voice Recorder
Add an optional Digital Voice Recorder to your
CAT-700B controller. The DR-1000B provides true voice message announcements
on your repeater system. Substitute DVR tracks for voice messages and courtesy
tones. The DVR tracks are protected during power failures. Three AA alkaline
batteries installed on the board provide forty-eight hours of back-up protection.
Tracks can be recorded, played or erased in any order. Tracks are record
through the repeater’s receiver. A signal report test is also included.
Enter a DTMF command to record a seven second test message. Un-key and
the test message will play back. You instantly know how your signal sounds
through the repeater. Total record time is two minutes. Sixteen audio tracks
provide sufficient message capacity. Maximum track length is thirty seconds.
The sampling rate is selectable between 32 and 50 KHz. Eight expanded user
function switches are included. Power requirements are +9 to +15VDC at
60 mA. The board size is 4.5 X 7.0 inches and will easily mount in the
RME-1000 enclosure next to the CAT-700B controller. This is a plug and
play accessory.
DL-1000C Audio Delay
Add an optional Audio Delay board to the CAT-700B.
When placed in the receive audio path, the DL-1000C will eliminate the first
chirp of the DTMF tone during muting and the squelch crash noise present on many
repeater systems. Header connectors are provided to add delays to both the repeater
and link receiver inputs. With a sampling rate of 62KHz, the DL-1000C delivers
high quality delayed audio to the CAT-700B controller. A dip-switch selects delays
of 500, 250, 125 or 62 milliseconds. Installation is simple. Remove a jumper
and plug the DL-1000C cable into the CAT-700B at J8 and or J9. This is a plug
and play accessory.
MF-1000 Serial Interface Card
This MF-1000 card provides an additional twenty-four
open collector darlington relay drivers to control various equipment at
the repeater site. Typical examples include antenna relays, battery chargers,
power amplifiers.
RME-1000 Rack Mount Enclosure
Install the CAT-700B controller in a custom,
high strength RF tight, rack mounted enclosure. The RME-1000 provides a
high strength RF tight enclosure. There is ample room for accessories such
as the DR-1000B Digital Voice Recorder and DL-1000C Audio Delay boards.
The RME-1000 is assembled and includes all the hardware necessary to mount
the controller. The RME-1000 is a standard 19 inch rack 1.75 inches high
and 10 inches deep.
ED-700W Windows Editor
The ED-700W Windows editor offers a monumental
break through in repeater controller programming. No endless string of
DTMF tones to enter or confusing script files to write. Completely mouse
driven, just point and click. Program codes, timers and voice messages.
Schedule events, write macros and design custom courtesy tones without
ever touching your computer’s keyboard.
