QSO relevant Timers

Master Servers controls two main timers for system usage. Hold-Off (Hand-Off) Timer and On-Demand (Dynamic Talk Group) Timer.

• Hold-Off (Hand-Off) is set for 3 minutes on IT Master Server. This timer function will Hold-Off all other Talk Groups on a Time Slot when a user activates a Dynamic Talk Group and will Hold-Off (Keep Clear) the other Dynamic and Static Talk Groups on a Time Slot for a period of 3 minutes. It's a sort of priority/protection for the last Key-Up Dynamic Talk Group on the repeater Time Slot.

• On Demand Timer (Dynamic Talk Group) is set for 10 minutes on IT Master Server. This timer function provides for when a user Keys-Up a Dynamic Talk Group and will stay active for a period of 10 minutes. Once the timer exceeds this time, with no PTT activity on the repeater, the Dynamic Talk Group will Drop Off.

• Auto Static is for simplex based Hotspots, where a Key-Up Talk Group is set Dynamic and also Static automatically, to allow use of the last activated Talk Group indefinitely, even after the On-Demand Timer resets. To remove the Auto Static Talk Group either Key-Up another Talk Group or use TG-4000 to clear the Auto Static Talk Group. You don't have to use TG-4000 when moving to another TG; this only is used if you want to disconnect for all Talk Groups currently set Auto Static on your Hotspot.

• When using repeaters please clear with TG-4000 unused Dynamic Talk Groups before to Key-Up another one, do not leave orphans Talk Groups on the Time Slots.

Hoseline

This service allows for users to monitor (listen) to talk groups from a web browser. Visit https://hose.brandmeister.network.

Talk Groups

Most used Italian TalkGroups & Cluster External Talk Groups (Cluster Internal Talk Group 88)

Important general operational notes:

• Before starting QSOs on any TalkGroup (national, international, regional, etc.), always first check the configuration of the static TalkGroups on the repeater you aim to use;
  
• If your TG is configured as static on one of the two Time-Slots, please use the relevant Time-Slot;
  
• If your TG is not configured as static on either Time-Slot, ask yourself where your QSO will have the least impact on existing traffic and based on this consideration choose the best slot;
  
• If you see that one of the two Time-Slots is completely free of static TalkGroups, choose it, because it means that the Sysop evidently likes to host you on that slot, dedicated anytime to free traffic on any TalkGroup.
