According to http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/143,

********************
Startup Macro
Additionally, there is one macro type which can executed once on system 
startup. Each node can have one startup macro defined in its node stanza.
To define the startup macro, place the something similar to this in your 
node stanza:

startup_macro=*9532011*9532000
This example executes two DTMF commands to establish two links at 
startup. The startup macro does not require a trailing # like a function 
macro.
********************

Let's be honest... have you ever entered at the CLI> prompt the command of
CLI> rpt fun [your-node] *3[their-node] {enter}
and have it fail?  (Note the lack of #?)

Either way, it works for me... except when the command is entered into a 
node stanza...

ie:

[1776] (*)                                                         ; 
Change this to your assigned node number

erxgain=-3                                                      ; 
Echolink receive gain adjustment      ; Note: Gain is in db-volts
etxgain=3                                                       ;

linkunkeyct=ct8                                         ; sent when a 
transmission received over the link unkeys
startup_macro=*3[node-number]            ; this crap doesn't work.

(* = note: this story is true.  The actual node number and callsigns 
were altered to protect the innocent)

Why doesn't it work, is what I want to know.   I tried the command in 
the [macro1776] stanza - no good.
Re-read and saw where it -had- to be in the 'node' stanza - entered it 
there and still - no bueno.  Que pasa?
