Q: While a path is timed out, I'd like to have a message sent. Can I do that?

Using the Timeout and Timeout End Event-Triggered Macros, you can use a User Timer to periodically send the Timed Out message as a reminder that the path is timed out.  This is especially useful for paths that remain timed out for a very long time, e.g. a user's transmitter is stuck on for hours or days.
; Configure the User Timer
MPW 49 01 03 180.0 *               ; User Timer:  180 seconds, 3 minutes
MPW 49 01 02 4002 *                ; User Timer Event macro
MPW 26 0130 4001 *                 ; Timeout event-triggered macro
MPW 26 0138 4003 *                 ; Timeout End event-triggered macro

; Timeout Event macro
MPW 20 4001 MPW 49 01 04 *         ; start User Timer

; User Timer Event macro
;   Say Timeout Message again and restart timer
MPW 20 4002 MPW 34 0103 *          ; play Timeout message again
MPW 29 4002 MPW 49 01 04 *         ; restart User Timer

; Timeout End Event macro
MPW 20 4003 MPW 49 01 00 *         ; stop the timer
Note: this example is compatible with versions before 3.3.0 and with 3.4.0 and newer.
