Hi Bob, Well an interesting thing happens when I try two different band Maxtrac Radios.
The Off-Hook option appears in the Radio Wide Settings Table as you suggested, but only for the low UHF and VHF band radios. When I use the same software to read a Conventional 900 Radio the Off-Hook option goes away and all I see is the Handset Y/N option left behind. I know the Conventional Firmware for the 900 Maxtrac radio is different from the lower frequency bands... but the off-hook option would normally be expected to be available in both bands. I guess I'm going to make up more Radius Repeater monitor mute plugs. Thanks for taking the time to reply.... cheers, skipp > "Bob M." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yes. Check the Radio-Wide settings page, left column, bottom. There should be something regarding the hang-up box (HUB). TAB to that field, press F1, read the HELP screen about it, and make the appropriate choice. > > Most people just short out pins 3+4 on the back of the MIC jack inside the control head.
