Subject: Addition of a PL Tone to both 91 and 79

 

All:

 

To help deal with some interference we've been receiving on both the 146.91
and 146.79 repeaters, effective on or about 9/26/2020, we will be turning on
a PL (CTCSS) tone of 77.0 hertz to access both repeaters.   The repeaters
already transmit the 77.0 tone so you can set your radios up so that they
only open squelch when the repeater transmits and save you hearing any
interference on your radio.   

 

Please let us know if you have any questions and share this widely with all
hams in the area to spread the word.   

 

73, 

 

Shawn
