## Important note
|
||||
Repeater and all associated repeat modes are under development. The documentations related to it are for devs/nightly testers. You will not yet find it in stable.

# Freqman file format
|
||||
See [Freqman Manager](Freq-manager) page
|
||||
|
||||
# HamRadio type
|
||||
HamRadio type is special case.
|
||||
|
||||
It represents a Ham Radio relay: relay RX freq for frequency_a (r=) , relay TX freq for frequency_b (t=)
|
||||
|
||||
In Recon, when current type is HamRadio:
|
||||
|
||||
- Both RX and TX frequencies are scanned for activity as two single frequencies
|
||||
- When clicking 'MIC' while on one of the HamRadio entry frequencies, Mic TX frequency is set to relay RX frequency, and Mic RX frequency is set to relay TX frequency
|
||||
|
||||
# Repeater type
|
||||
Repeater type is special case. It's an entry that allows the portapack to act as a half duplex Repeater.
|
||||
|
||||
The frequency_a (l=) is the Repeater listening frequency, and frequency_b (t=) is the Repeater TX frequency
|
||||
|
||||
**!! WARNING: These functions are activating TX in Recon. You have to know what you do !!**
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use the Repeater functionality:
|
||||
- in CONFIG, 'auto record locked' and 'repeater' have to be checked
|
||||
- while you're at it, set the number of reps and the delay before each TX
|
||||
- the modulation type have to be SPEC and use the target relay signal bandwidth
|
||||
|
||||
## In Recon, when current type is Repeater and repeater mode is DISABLED:
|
||||
- only listening freq is used to check on activity (l=)
|
||||
- entry will be scanned as single frequency
|
||||
|
||||
## In Recon, when current type is Repeater and repeater mode is ENABLED:
|
||||
- listening freq is used to check on activity (l=)
|
||||
- entry will be scanned as single frequency
|
||||
- on squelch level match raw record is started
|
||||
- on timeout or inactivity timeout the raw record is stopped
|
||||
- tx delay is played if any
|
||||
- raw record is replayed using the Repeater TX (t=) frequency
|
||||
|
||||
Raw Record, when used in conjunction of Repeater, is using the same file to store the record: /CAPTURES/RECON_REPEAT.C16
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced Repeater configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The Repeater, in addition of Recon, can be used as a half duplex multiplexed relay.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a graph showing how Alice and Bob could talk using a Repeater list in Recon

||||

end
|

subgraph "Repeater 2"
|
||||
R2RX
|
||||
R2TX
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**In our example:**
|
||||
|
||||
- a single portapack is used
|
||||
- in a freqman file, we are using two Repeater entries: R1 and R2
|
||||
- R1 is to repeat Alice TX to Bob RX
|
||||
- R2 is to repeat Bob TX to Alice RX
|
||||
- Recon is set in autostart, continuous scan
|
||||
- Wait timeout is set to -1500 (which in our case mean stop recording after 1500ms of inactivity)
|
||||
- Lock timeout is set to 100
|
||||
- Match Mode is set to continuous
|
||||
- NB match is set to 3
|
||||
- auto record locked, repeater are checked
|
||||
- nb repeat is set to 1 and the delay to 0
|
||||
|
||||
**What is going to happen:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Alice is going to use any tone/start delay to open Repeater 1
|
||||
- Recon is matching a squelch level on Repeater 1 and is going to start record
|
||||
- Alice have stopped talking. 1500 ms later, the record is stopped
|
||||
- Recon transmit the record to Bob, using Repeater 1 TX frequency
|
||||
- Bob hear Alice. He wants to answer, and send to Repeater 2
|
||||
- Recon is matching a squelch level on Repeater 2 and is going to start record
|
||||
- Bob have stopped talking. 1500 ms later, the record is stopped
|
||||
- Recon transmit the record to Alice, using Repeater 2 TX frequency
|
||||
|
||||
### What are the possibilities
|
||||
|
||||
- as long as Alice and Bob are not talking simultaneously, they can use the Repeater as much times each as they want
|
||||
- you can add more Repeaters in the list. Keep in mind that it's 100ms more scan time for each entry
