Is there a method to meet the 3 minute rule requirement when operating Telecommand?

    I am not sure what the rule is.

    However, you can set a transmit time out timer. We call it PTT Timeout.

    It is outlined in section 33.6 of the SmartSDR UserGuide.

    Thanks Mike. Sorry for the newbie question. The FCC requires that if your running remote and you lose control that the radio can stop transmitting after 3 minutes. I'll give the PTT timeout a try.
    Thanks again.

    Here you go

    This means the radio will drop out of TX after the time you enter here. Regardless of a remote connection or not. So, if you are long-winded rag chews, your radio my decide you have been talking too long. :)

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
