VXR-7000 Help - CWID broadcast questions

[DylanMadigan]

I was able to get the CWID to broadcast every 13 minutes with use, but i got a couple questions. I have looked around a little and found some documentation on using CE27 but not too much. I am using the Windows GUI Application.



If it has been quiet for a while and I key up, the CWID wants to go off immediately after I finish my transmission. It does add a little delay for the other unit to answer which depending on whats going on can be quite inconvenient. Is there any way to delay that when we key up for the first time in a while, it waits a couple minutes until broadcasting the ID?

I have multiple PLs on one frequency to separate things out. When the CWID is broadcast, it goes over the last active PL. Can I have it go out with no PL so my radios don't hear it?

If I can have the ID go out with no PL, could I also set it so that if it is going off and someone keys up, it switches to repeating that transmission, then when thats done it goes back to broadcasting the ID?

Look for something like "polite ID" that should hold off ID until there is no activity/use on the repeater.

Didn't see that anywhere. I did look through all the options, but these are the only two pages relevant to the ID or timing that I see.




^ignore the massive hang time, was testing something

There is no polite ID. What the repeater does is during use every 780 seconds it will identify itself no matter what and you cannot un-PL the CW ID tones. If you are not using the repeater longer than 780 seconds it will stay quiet until the repeater is keyed and then it will identify itself and again every 780 seconds that you have selected until the repeater is no longer keyed. You are stuck hearing the cw ID no matter what!

That is exactly the same reason we had to replace the first 3 or 4 our shop sold.

Sounds like the repeater has a very stupid ID. No polite ID, bad timing and should not ID with any tone.

It will not ID without PL. And not polite. We went to Midian boards and installed them to get polite ID, and ID without PL.

The other thing Vertex does NOT do well is keeping weaker signals on the same frequency from being transmitted. Even if the PL tone is different, the signal is carried in the background causing somewhat interference. I aligned it to my specific frequency and then the repeater worked far better. I suggest you do that.

Are there any guides on how to do that? I'm a bit new to this. I found the couple of menus for it, I just don't know what to do and I don't want to cause issues lol.

I would NOT mess with those 'settings' as they ARE Alignment and Calibration values aka tuning settings. And one needs test equipment for adjustment.
