  • To call Socorro Emergency services (911) or the State Police (123), key your transmitter and those three digits. Unkey and you should hear ringing.
  • To make local telephone exchange calls, key your transmitter, announce your intentions and callsign, key “*” and the phone number, then unkey. Autodial numbers are accessed with the command “**nn”, where nn = the two digit autodial slot.
  • To terminate your autopatch or autodial call, key “#”.
  • Those who do not have PL tones on their radios may disable the CTCSS squelch on this repeater with the DTMF sequence “#100”. Reenable the squelch with the keystrokes “*100”.
  • Because of changes to the New Mexico Tech telephone switching system calls to NMT -5xxx, -6xxx and -7xxx numbers are not now possible using the SARA autopatch. This can be addressed by reprogramming the controller, but it will be some time before that can be done (8/7/07).
