Demo Programs

The programs RLC3.exe, RLC4.exe, RLC5.exe Club.exe and ClubDlx2.exe are 
command line programs that attempt to simulate the way the actual repeater
controllers work.  They present the user with a command line interface
almost exactly like the user would see if they were to connect a
computer or serial terminal to the serial port on the controller.
Commands can be typed in and the program will respond like a controller
would.  This is useful for testing the syntax of different commands and
for learning to program macros.  Unfortunately, a PC does has a lot of
limitations that keep it from working exactly like a controller:

- Due to the poor timer resolution of the standard timer (1/18.2 ticks
  per second), the CW that is sent by the RLC4, RLC5, and Club versions
  of the program is "choppy".  The real controllers do not have this
  timer resolution problem.  Command 050 can be used to turn the CW
  command responses off, using the same format as you would use to keep
  CW response from being sent over the air when commands are entered
  from the controller's serial port.

- No attempt has been made at emulating the voice synthesizer.

There is no built-in function to allow uploading files.  If there are a
lot of requests for this, it could be added.

Please note that these demo programs have nothing to do with "Club for
Windows", "RLC-3 for Windows" or "QuickStart", the programs that allow 
you to program the controllers without having to look up commands in the 
manual.

A short example of how the program might be used follows.  Note that
command 035 (remote reset) exits the program:
