NOTE: These commands do not apply to the RF linked repeaters.

The PNW220 repeaters are controlled by DTMF commands consisting of one or more digits followed buy a number sign.

The system is divided into several modules each performing a specific task.

You activate a module by sending its module ID followed by a number sign.

Most modules will play their help message if a 0 is sent while the module is active.

* Identify repeater and give date and time.

Sending a single star will make the system identify itself.

Available modules and how to activate them.

With Metar information you are able to request worldwide weather information from ICAO weatherstations provided by NOAA.

Currently available stations are:

# 1# 2# 3# 4# 5# 6# 7#

AIRPORTS=KSEA,KOLM,KPAE,KPDX,KAST,KBVS,KBLI

To get a list of predefined stations send 01# while the METAR module is active.

To request METAR info from an available station issue the station number followed by a #.

Example: For Bellingham activate METAR with 5# and send 7# after it's active.

Not issuing a station number will result in a default of KSEA.

Send a single number sign to leave the module.

In addition there are a number of built-in commands not associated with modules

that return information about the repeater.
