<div dir="ltr">I already use polite id and it works fine, the ID never goes on top of anyone. But that is not the problem.<div>And to incorporate the club reminders with every ID would be very annoying to everyone listening to the repeater.</div>
<div>What I need is the function of tailmessage, this feature allows a set of messages to be played at unkeys, a different message at each interval, and have those recorded messages not step on users.</div><div>It should be just like the polite ID,, and it was before. but now it is not.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I intend to set the interval to something like 60 to 120 minutes. and the messages will change at different times of the day. Like I said it worked great before. now it doesn't work on any of 3 repeaters I am trying to implement it on.</div>
<div>The only reason I currently have the timers so short is for debugging. I am still digging in the source code and am getting closer. </div><div>I think it is very closely related to "tailtimer -= elap" in the code. I am still trying to track down "elap" and if anyone can explain it to me before I figure it out, that would be very helpful.</div>
<div>Before long I will have the entire program memorized like Jim does. (not going to happen in my lifetime :)</div><div><br></div><div>Chuck, CCIE2285(retired), WB9UUS</div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>
