- Our RC-850 repeater controllers on both '76 and '88 have a "mailbox"
- capability that allows club members to leave predefined messages for
- each other. The club trustees have decided to enable this feature
- ONLY on the '76 repeater, and make it available to LEARA members
- wishing to use this facility.
-
- Here's how the mailbox works. Club members who request a mailbox
- will be assigned a two digit box number, and a list of those box
- numbers will be published. Within the limits of the controller's
- vocabulary, up to ten general purpose messages can be defined by the
- control operator. For example, we have currently defined: "call
- me", "call me on", "call me at home tonight" and "call me ASAP".
- The "call me on" message will allow the originator to append up to
- eight digits which could be a phone number or another repeater
- frequency. To send a message to another member, you would enter
- from your touchtone pad: the mailbox prefix, his box number, your
- box number and the message number. Whenever there are active
- messages in the system, the controller will periodically announce
- "mail present".
-
- How do you know if any of that mail is for you? You enter a command
- to interrogate your mailbox and the controller will give you your
- message(s) or tell you that your box is empty. If you do have
- traffic, the controller will tell you who it is from, the date and
- time of the message, and of course the message itself. Another
- command allows you to erase all of your messages after you have
- listened to them. If you forget to erase your traffic, or if you do
- not interrogate your mailbox, your mailbox will be erased
- automatically at midnight of the second day.
-
- Sound interesting? Would you like your very own mailbox? Just fill
- out the form below and mail it to either the east or west side LEARA
- PO box. In three to four weeks you will receive your mailbox
- assignment, a list of all mailbox users, and a set of detailed
- instructions on how to use the mailbox system.
