Is there a way to have the time of day sent as a tail message (status,12)? I looked through the docs and Google, but didn't see anything apparent. The source code just goes after voice files. Another way would be to use a script call or something. Thanks, Tony
you could do it on a schedule example bellow is how i do it every hour [schedule27365] ;dtmf_function = m h dom moy dow ; ala cron, star is implied 83 = 00 * * * * 83=status,12 ;Give Time of Day (local only) On Tue, May 10, 2011 at 1:53 PM, Tony <kt9ac@ameritech.net> wrote:

There are two problems I foresee with this implementation: 1) It would fire regardless of whether someone was talking, thus possibly clobbering a QSO already in progress, and 2) It would fire every hour, regardless of whether the repeater was in use or not. That is to say, during quiet periods, your repeater would still go off once an hour. 2) might be OK, but it definitely would make your radios transmit more often than they really need to. Having said all that, I don't have a better solution. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: (814) 860-3194 or 888-75-BUDDY On May 10, 2011, at 6:59 PM, Randy Ballard wrote:

Everybody has different ways of doing things. Randy is also running ZIPPR so if someone is talking when the time goes off it is dropped to half volume and doesn't bother the QSO that is happening.
