"Auto Acknowledge" for stand alone distance tests

[QRP]

How to program a GP340 with "Auto Acknowledge"
for stand alone distance tests? Give me a hint.
with Auto Acknowledge

Is this the way to do it??
On the remote radio
Set dec 1 to 12345
Set auto ack to tgm 1 on that decode
Set enc 1 to 12121

Maybe set the pre time to 2550 msec, the max, to
give you a bit of blank carrier to listen to so you can judge the S/N.
Set tgm 1 to enc 1
Set dec 1 in the personality for the channel you are using
On the local radio set a side button to send call 1
Set call 1 to tgm 1 in personality
set tgm 1 to enc 1
set enc 1 to 12345

Make sure both are using the same tone set, ie eea
when you send 12345 from the local radio it will be decoded by the
remote radio which will send 12121 back to you.

Is this the way??

Hi

Email me your GP340 code plug to dave@pineway.co.uk and ill set it up for you.

will also produce a manual for you and others who require this feature.

I am not available until Sunday evening as i am away at the moment. but can do this for you on my return.

reference this auto acknowledge, would this return with a audiable tone to each radio?? kind of like a roger bleep but not from your radio, from the other radio once your tx is over??

Yes seth, the first post is right - auto ack simply returns a selcall back to the original radio.

And what do you mean by audible tone - do you want to be able to hear the selcall on your transmitting radio when you press the ptt (so you know when to talk ??)

If you do, its in the per personality, s5 encode tab, and its 'select 5 sidetone'

The volume tends to be a bit loud on the selcall (especially if you have an earpiece in !!). To change this, go to per radio, alerts, volume, and lower the 'sidetone variable volume offset' to about -90.

There you go.

I like the idea for range testing.......

a couple of things we do when short of bodies is

1.  use a range extender  -  whatever the rx radio gets it sends straight back to yourself - that way you get to monitor genuine voice mods

2. set up a handset download the VRS program onto your laptop then go walkabout - the laptop plugged into the handset records the lot for later analysis - also proves useful months later when complaints arise due to poor coverage - this way easily checked and emailed to the client.

3.  the RSSI o/p on the gp340 side connector has also proved useful - I doctored a lapel mic lead and plugged it into my multimeter

noting to do with the question to hand but thought it worth posting
