Reverse autopatch can only be used in the strictest of manners...
(1) a control op MUST answer the call OFF the air (no ring, beeps, sppech
announce, etc allowed AT ALL)
(2) then after screening the call, the control op then allows the call to go
to the rptr...
THIS IS FCC rules.....I have the letter from Bill Cross of the FCC if you
wish to read it..
BUT if you are looking for a good autopatch with some bells and whistles, I
have a CES 520D programmable I will sell for $200 plus shipping

assistant: Hello All!
I have still for sale a GE Master II mobile radio, minus control head, which
has been modified for repeater use. Radio does 45 watts out.  Has 3 minute
timeout timer installed already when mod was done. All you need is some
rocks, duplexer anbd antenna of choice, and you'reon the air.
I'll take best offer over $75 for it.  Leave a message here, or call (319)
753-6456. I have all doccumentation for this unit, including doccumentation
for the mods. For those who've asked before about this, I will not photocopy
the doccumentation and send it to you, as I don't have the time or
inclination to stand at a copier, andthen pay postage. Sorting out the mods
from the rest of the docs would be a problem for me. I'm advertising the unit
for sale only, not interested in trades, and will not respond to queries
about the docs. This unit is in excellent condition.

am now offering it for a steal at $250.00. This is worth $399.00 but
since it is considered used with just 15 hours of actual on time then I
must sacrifice it.  The Santee swapmeet prices are around $200.00 -
$250.00 for used scanners but who knows how old they are or how many
hours they have on them.  I still have the original box, documentation,
and you can even send in the warranty registration. This has many
features. If interested call Ken at 691-8376.  This price is firm since
I have already went down from a $375.00 original asking price.
