Does the FF-800 have reverse autopatch?
Yes, the FF-800 can support a reverse patch where users may call the repeater and have their call answered by an operator on the repeater. This feature may be done with or without a password — if a password is required, the user would call the repeater, enter the password, and wait for an operator on the air to answer the call. If no password is required, the same procedure is used except no password is required. The reverse patch is answered by issuing the autopatch command code (with no additional digits) and is terminated just like a normal autopatch. During the entire cycle, the on-air operators have total control over the system. At no time during a reverse (or normal) autopatch does the person on the telephone have access to the DTMF receiver of the FF-800.
