Timers

Master Servers control two main timers for system usage. Holdoff (handoff) Timer and On Demand (Dynamic) Timers.

Hand Off Timer (Hold off) is set for 3 min. on IT Master Servers. This timer function will hold off all other talk groups on a Time Slot when a user activates a talk group and will hold of the other dynamic and static talk groups on a Timeslot for a period of 3 minutes.

On Demand Timer (Dynamic) is set for 10 min. on IT Master Servers. This timer function provides for when a user keys up a dynamic talk group and will stay active for a period of 10 minutes. Once the timer exceeds this time the dynamic talk group will drop off.

Auto Static is for simplex based hotspots where a talk group is set static automatically to allow use of the activated talk group and will stay active for a period of 10 minutes. Once the timer exceeds this time the dynamic talk group will drop off. To remove the auto static talk group either key up another talk group or use TG4000 to clear the auto static talk group. You don't have to use TG 4000 when moving to another TG. This only is used if you want to disconnect for all talk groups currently sent auto static on your hotspot.

Hoseline

This service allows for users to monitor (listen) to talk groups from a web browser. Visit https://hose.brandmeister.network.

Talk Groups

Most used Italian TalkGroups & Cluster External Talk Groups (Cluster Internal Talk Group 88)

Important general operational notes:

Before starting QSOs on any TalkGroup (national, international, regional, etc.), always first check the configuration of the static TalkGroups on the repeater you desire to use.

If your TG is configured as static on one of the two Time-Slots, please use the relevant Time-Slot.

If your TG is not configured as static on either Time-Slot, ask yourself where your QSO will have the least impact on existing traffic and based on this consideration choose the best slot.

If you see that one of the two Time-Slots is completely free of static TalkGroups, choose it, because it means that the Sysop evidently likes to host you on that slot, dedicated anytime to free traffic on any TalkGroup.
