New Message Types
Four new message types were added to support interruptible speech and Morse messages.
9901 - CW Primary
9902 - CW Secondary
9911 - Beep Primary
9912 - Beep Secondary
9961 - Speech Primary
9962 - Speech Secondary
Primary messages will cease playback if a receiver with its path enabled to a transmitter associated with the message playback is active at the time the playback commences, or any time during message playback.
Secondary messages will only play in circumstances when a primary message would not.
Examples:
This message would speak “KA9FUR Repeater” but if a receiver went active would revert to “KA9FUR” in CW.
{PW} 15 9981 9961 0260 0001 0335 0149 0540 0401 0421 9902 59 0852 67 20 10 09 15 30 27
The following set’s the courtesy tone as mixed on Tx1 as a secondary beep message such that any activity on the repeater will cause the courtesy message to be discarded. When the new switch “35” is enabled, courtesy messages will be queued when the repeater is initially activated and an ID is sent. If the resulting courtesy message is not sent as a “primary” message, then the courtesy message would be sent immediately after the initial ID even if there was user activity present.

Operational Changes
Added area codes 877 and 866 to the toll free table.
Command 30 and 80 will now accept 1 or 2 digit timer values.
Command 32, transmitter drop out delay, will now accept 1, 2, or 3 digit timer values of up to 12.7 seconds.
Commands 40, 65, and 79 will now accept a single zero rather than requiring 3 zeros.
A new courtesy message will not be placed in the global message queue if there is still a courtesy message pending in the queue. Note that this change only applies to the courtesy message ({PW} 31 10…) and that the courtesy event macro will still be triggered without regard as to whether the courtesy message has been sent or not.
The speech board timeout timer is now 10 seconds rather than the 25 seconds in previous versions (even though it was documented as being 5 seconds it was really 25 seconds).
The number of permissible macros has been increased to 340.
Fixed CW messages were modified to include the special initial delay character ‘54’ at the beginning of the message such that an initial delay is present.
