DTMF codes:
6506 – Jonaskop Link
6505 – VHF Repeater
6504 – Danabaai Link
To check the status of a connection:
Send the 4 digit DTMF code only
An interrupted tone indicates OFF
A continuous tone indicates ON
To switch a point OFF:
Send the 4 digit code plus a #
To switch a point ON:
Send the 4 digit code plus a *
Any isolated repeater continues to work as a normal local repeater, but is not linked to the network.
The DTMF code must be entered within a few seconds between the first and the last digit, as there is a code-entry timer window. Press your PTT, then allow a second or two’s key-up delay before entering the DTMF code, to allow all links a chance to key up first.
ALWAYS give your callsign when interrogating and announce which point you are switching (BEFORE disconnecting, and AFTER reconnecting!)
