They have to be 4 characters long to be able to have 30 of them, with this you can have 100 shortcuts (macros) for the users they would have a list something like this *71 disconnect all links *511 connect echolink to rptr 1 *512 disconnect echolink from rpt1 *513 connect allstar to rptr 2 *514 disconnect allstar from rpt2 *515 connect echolink to rptr 3 *516 disconnect echolink from rpt3 *517 connect echolink to rptr 4 *518 disconnect echolink from rpt4 *519 connect echolink to rptr 5 *520 disconnect echolink from rpt5 *521 connect allstar to rptr 6 *522 disconnect allstar from rpt6 .... .... *567 connect allstar to rptr 29 *568 disconnect allstar from rpt 29 *569 connect allstar to rptr 30 *570 disconnect allstar from rpt 30 *57101 connect echolink repeater blah *57102 disconnect echolink repeater blah *57103 connect echolink repeater foo *57104 disconnect echolink repeater foo You would code it something like this [mymacros] 11 = *33001234# ; connect to echolink repeter 1 12 = *13001234# ; disconnect from echolink repeater 1 ; and so on for each of them 69 = *327123# ; connect to allstar repeater 30 70 = *127123# ; disconnect from allstar repeater 30 ;If you need more than 100 you can make some longer but remember that once you use a short string like 71 you can't have a longer one like 7101. 7012 = *33012345 ; this one will never work because 70 as a two digit code is used for repeater 30 disconnect above. 7101 = *33123456 ; connect to repeater blah 7102 = *13123456 ; disconnect from repeater blah 7103 = *33234567 ; connect to repeater foo 7104 = *13234567 ; disconnect from repeater foo ; I hope this clarifies for you how the macros work ; Chuck On Mon, Oct 14, 2013 at 1:45 PM, keith <keith@handscombe.co.uk> wrote:
Evening all,****

I have on my All-Star node some DTMF short-cuts and would like to add more. I have at the moment used the list below but would like to add 30 short-cuts in total as the older hams have a problem sending more than 2-3 characters so when asked to connect to an Echo link node 1234 its very difficult for the older hams to key *33001234. We have tried several times and with 1 attempt that work from almost 35 goes at this the poor old boy quote " It's a bit too much for me as I am 88 I struggle to see the buttons let alone press in any order"****

So if this is difficult I am happy to keep the list below and change it daily to suite the older hams having then a daily list of favourites in a weekly format so all 30 short-cuts can be achieved over a 4 week period.** **
** **
If it's not to difficult then I will have a go ****

Many thanks whoever lends a hand****

Kind Regards****
