Simplex node ID
|
Albert Febraro <w6aax@...>
Should my simplex node be sending an ID over the air even though the node is usually idle? If so how can I enable this in the software?

Because you are bound by the FCC and they’ve treated an ID when the station is not actively used (a repeater on standby) as a beacon or a one way transmission, the answer is no.

Besides it’s annoying to repeatedly hear (unless you specifically don’t use PL during an ID). ID is a setting in the config. Rick NK7I Smell Czech corruptions are inevitable

Your node need only identify every ten minutes when it is transmitting, with one final ID at the end of a series of transmissions. There is no need for it to identify when it is idle. -- Dave Schultheis WB6KHP San Jose

That’s what I thought.

Ten minutes in the US; in other countries, the time can vary (e.g. Canada, 30 minutes).

In Canada , I id every 30 min if some one was using it or not, in the US I believe it’s every 10 min , I would treat it as a repeater as I did when simplex , as I did when it got moved to a repeater

It’s a little hard to ID a simplex node when your done , that’s a human thing To be safe call or email the fcc or your local ARRL rep that knows about repeaters ( non attended transmitter ) to be safe and keep it off .520 !! Listen listen and listen some more before you pick a freq to put the simplex node on Nothing worse then put it on a Friday night rag chew freq , because you where away a Friday night or forgot to listen , and you put up the node ....... 3 weeks of a radio on and on freq , or in scan mode with a couple 5 freq , as one gets used delete it from the scan list Asking forgiveness is not better here , Good luck and enjoy Richard Szajkowski VA3RZS,VA3ZJ,VE3BTE

Allow me to throw this in for simplex node users as far as ID-ing. My VOICE/CW ID scripts were written to work just like a repeater controller. When you start the script, it sleeps until either COS or PTT goes high (which also has a kerchunk filter) when the COS or PTT does go high it ID's in the background if it's PTT or waits until COS goes low and then ID's (again in the background). While either COS or PTT (or both) stays active the script ID's every 10 minutes, then when the COS & PTT goes low for 10 minutes it ID's one more time, making the ID the last thing your node transmits and then goes back to sleep until the COS or PTT goes high again. The Kerchunk filter and ID timing are adjustable to allow other countries to use these scripts to be legal. Having said all that, I believe Dave C VE7LTD built a CW ID into the IRLP software, but I'm not sure if it does all this. ** Dave Parks **

Great to know if I ever put a simplex node back on the air

This is how the interval ID system is set up. It ID's on first transmission, every interval after that, and then after one interval of inactivity sends a final ID.

The slightest vor/cos inter mode noise can reset the I'd timer also. Pete Damron M5ZLW

The timer is based on PTT transmit signals, not COR (unless operating as a repeater controller, but that is a different ID script).
