[CTSARA] SF 2 Meter Repeater Problems Back

[Jon Perelstein]

Well, unfortunately the repeater is doing its cutting out thing again --
and there are no interfering signals on the input.

It happened to John GRB last night and it happened to me this morning.

It seems to happen after as its being used in an on-going QSO that lasts
more than a few minutes, rather than happening on a short QSO.  We did make
sure that we allowed the carrier to drop, which would imply that it's not
repeater timeout.

An on-going QSO means that the repeater has been transmitting for most of
the time of the QSO, so heat is one of the things we're going to have to
look at.

Fred -- with regard to the snooze line:  We'll see what happens during the
Sunday night net.  If the repeater drops out during the net then we won't
play the snooze line.  If the repeater doesn't drop out during the net, we
may try the snooze line to see if the pretty much continuous snooze line
transmission causes the problem to repeat itself.
