The EMERGENCY Patch Is Always On.

REGULAR AUTOPATCH - The regular autopatch is subdivided into two states, depending on whether a control operator is monitoring the repeater and the time of day. 
INDIVIDUAL SPEED DIAL - Between the hours of 6:30 am and 11:30 pm daily, members can use the autopatch to call the number stored in their speed dial slot. In order to access this autopatch you must be transmitting a 100 Hz PL tone. The user merely idenifies as normal when using the autopatch and enters the three digit speed dial number. A few seconds after unkeying, the repeater will dial the number which has been stored in the speed dial slot and the autopatch continues as any normal autopatch would. To terminate the patch enter the Patch Clear Code #
When the repeater is in this mode the ID sent by thr repeater is "W1EE/R" transmitted in CW.
Every member is intitled to one speed dial number. To optain a speed dial number contact the trustee.
FULL AUTOPATCH - When the control operator is monitoring the repeater will be in full autopatch to all available to members. To access the patch the member should identify, enter the autopatch access code and then the number you wish to call without unkeying your transmitter. Remember, if you are calling a number outside Stamford the number should be preceded by a 1. You will not hear a dial tone but the repeater will repeat the number you are calling. To terminate the autopatch simply enter the Patch Clear Code #
If you call a number outside the Stamford dialing area please check with the Treasurer at the next meeting to settle you account. The autopatch will not allow you to call a number outside of the 203 area code or the 914 area code if you access the Westchester Autopatch.
When the repeater is in this mode the ID sent by the machine is "W1EE Autopatch On" in voice.
LONG SISTANCE CALLS - When ever an autopatch is made outside the local Stamford dialing area, a long distance charge is imposed. This applies to calls  made with the speed dial number, through the regular autopatch and obviously, through the Westchester Patch. Please reimburse the Treasurer for these calls. Failure to do so will result in the loss of the autopatch.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - KEEP IT SHORT - Most of the people you speak to are civilian dispatchers. When you are first connected to the emergency service, briefly tell them you are calling by radio and cannot hear them until you stop speaking. Then briefly give them the nature of the problem and the location and wait for questions.
Be sure of the facts and relate them as concisely as possible. Accurately state the location of the incident and whether you know if any injuries are involved.
