<div id="yiv984450647"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Kent,<br></div><div><br></div><div>I have come across this before, and I do believe there is a timeout to kill the Transmitter when there is no activity while in command mode, just not as short as the timeout timer. Not sure what it is set to, but you should be able to search the source file and see. From my experience, the Timeout Timer is looking at the Receiver activity and not the Transmitter activity, and does still operate while in command mode. </div>
<div><br></div><div>My situation was someone put a repeater in command mode while traveling and went out of range of the repeater and could not take out of command mode. I brought up the repeater later and it was not keyed, but as soon as I keyed the repeater it gave the command telemetry and stayed keyed, so I took it out of command mode. Hope this helps.</div>

This put the repeater into transmit mode. What bothers me most, is that while in command mode, the transmit timeout parameter (totime) appears to be ignored, not good if there isn't someone around that knows to send "#" or otherwise shutdown the machine. In normal operating mode, totime works as expected, and try as I may, I have not been able to find a "command mode timeout" parameter. <br>

Have I missed or mis-configured something to cause this behavior? <br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
Is there a problem with the command function not honoring the transmit timeout parameter? <br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br>
</div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:13.3333px;background-color:transparent;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I understand that *4 is a mandatory command, but could someone enlighten me as to why I shouldn't just disable this command altogether?</div>
