Ken,
That's great info! Thank you very much.
hi larry
just wanted to let you know that there is also a shortcut to the *1 *2 *3 commands. if you use a 0 instead on the node number.
asterisk will act upon the last node the command was sent to also.
example.
*328162 to go to tx. after you send that command to that node. You can use the short cut of *20 or *10 to go to monitor or
disconnect. the 0 can be used in place of the node number to send a command to the last node that was accessed.
asterisk or app_rpt which is part of the allstar asterisk remembers the last node you sent the command to.
the 0 is used as a shortcut. it is not documented very well and not a lot of sysop's know about this.

Mike,
I did not take anything wrong ... My intention was compliment you on answering with a full explanation when I failed to state my question properly.
I had overlooked that others might search this list for the information I was asking about. After noting your reply it dawned on me my poorly worded request might lead someone to believe that a plain *1, *2, *3 would suffice as a full command rather than a full *328162 required for a tranceive mode connection to Node 28162.
Your answer clarified my oversight. WELL DONE!
I also appreciate the heads up about the delay possibility you mention.
Things like that was part of the reason for my asking. I will keep watch.
My main concern is the time delay switching to the tranceive mode on a monitored link. Returning to the monitor only mode, transition time shouldn't be an issue.
Perhaps the monitor only macro should first disconnect then do a fresh reconnect process. Doing it that way should prevent duplicate processes from accumulating over time yet allow a single speedy tranceive transition to occur.
If I learn anything usefull I'll let you know.

Larry,
It was meant to be clear enough for those that stumble on it looking at
the mail archives.
Was not trying to be-little you in any way... sorry if I gave that
impression.
I can only add a fact of my own experience to this...
When I do a lot of switching between tx and rx on a node,
It sometimes gets a bit buggy,
I have always thought it was just something in my nodes or config but,
If you do the same, you might be on the watch for long hang time
building up on the connected node when in tx if you are switching back
and forth (tx/rx - *2/*3/*2) a lot.
I do not get this when I fully disconnect from mon *1/*71 and then con
for tx *3.
Perhaps someone else may have noticed this ?
I have not had the time to track it down as a system reboot (not
asterisk restart) is a quick fix when not at the console.

Thanks Stan and Mike,
Being able to toggle between modes is what I needed to know.
Mike, I did understand about node numbers needing to be part of the *3
or *2 command but thanks for including that information in your explanation.
Since I didn't include the full command structure inside my question
your answer may clarify that point for someone that I may have confused
by not doing so.

Yes for the most part...
*2 29283 -con mon
*3 29283 -con tx-rx
*3 alone will do nothing
*1 29283 -disconnect only 29283
*1 -alone will do nothing
*71 -will disconnect every node connected to you mon or tx
Command is the same live or macro.
You do not need to disconnect (*71 or *1xxxxx) from monitor to switch
the same node to tx.
Just issue the *3xxxxx

Going to create some macros but need to understand this sequence before
hand.
I want to create a macro that connects a node to another node/hub in the
(*2 monitor only) mode.
Later if I wish to change that same connection to a (*3 transceive) mode.
Would a macro need to first issue a *1 disconnect and then reconnect
with a *3 function or can you just issue the *3 command and toggle
directly from monitor to transceive?
I assume whatever sequence works in one direction would hold true if
going in reverse from tranceive to monitor only.
Thanks
