## 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.

# Workflow and tips # Workflow and tips
Workflow:
## Classic workflow
* Select an input an output file, adjust the settings in CONFIG while you're at it * Select an input an output file, adjust the settings in CONFIG while you're at it
* Start the RECON, match frequencies, add them to your output file using autosave or STORE button * Start the RECON, match frequencies, add them to your output file using autosave or STORE button
* Switch to SCAN mode to refine your results * Switch to SCAN mode to refine your results
Tips: ## Repeater workflow:
* Select a prepared input file / use the classic workflow to set the frequencies you want in the scanner list
* In CONFIG/MORE, be sure that repeaters options are set (enable/disable, nb rep, tx amp, tx gain, load repeater entries)
* For a repeater mode, Recon entries have to use SPEC mode. Set the bandwidth accordingly, it's used as record/replay bandwidth
* Select the lowest lock time value (l) : 100
* Select a negative wait locked value, it means on freq as long as there no more than 'wait locked' msec of inactivity. -1500 proved to be good for conversations, for signals you may reduce the wait locked. It's also the minimum recorded time by the way.
* Set a squelch level that allow to only catch what you want. As an example, here I have a background noise of -40 db, when I hit the remote the level is going up to +5 db. To filter sparse signals from my remote, I set squelch of -10db, and adjust it down to catch more, up to catch less
* If you're not in 'autostart' you'll have to press 'RESUME' at start and after a record. Don't forget to set it in 'CONFIG' if needed
* Having 'LOOP' enabled is a good idea whatever your list is (it will allow you to avoid pressing RESUME each time too)
* Set number of matching packet from 1 to 3 as you want to quickly start recording and not wait for precisely long signal
* Set match type to continuous match
* Let it run
* Hit the remote / Make a MicTX com / whatever you're allowed to record and repeat
* auto record should start (RAW button should go red)
* at the end of record, progress bar of replay is shown / played / hidden
## Tips:
* When a file is loaded and checkbox 'autostart searching' have been checked, the search is starting as soon as the apps open up, using last launch settings * When a file is loaded and checkbox 'autostart searching' have been checked, the search is starting as soon as the apps open up, using last launch settings
* If 'autostart searching' is not used, then at the app start the last input list is loaded and the search is set in pause on the first frequency of the list * If 'autostart searching' is not used, then at the app start the last input list is loaded and the search is set in pause on the first frequency of the list
* To start a search using the input file, use the PAUSE/CONTINUE/RESTART or RST button * To start a search using the input file, use the PAUSE/CONTINUE/RESTART or RST button
