> N3PPC and I are moving along with repackaging the Orlando FPAC switch into
a

> cabinet, donated by Dan KA0OXH, is 5-ft tall and has ample room for the
gear
> and our hands to be inside when working!  We have four Mitreks mounted -
two
> positions will accommodate 100w units if needed -, a 50A rack-mounted PS,
a
> shelf for two computers (FPAC/BBS), a shelf for a shared monitor, a shelf
> for tncs and the touch tone controller.  There is also a 10-1/2" panel for
> 'control head' functions for the four radios.  There is remaining
rack/panel
> space for a box containing line conditioning and control relay functions.
> For the most part we have the mechanicals finished and will be starting on
> internal wiring this week.
>
> We have three 6-el UHF beams for backbones to Melbourne, Clermont, and
> DeLand, and a DB-224 for the 2M LAN which will cover all of Orange and
> Seminole Counties at least.  (For the record - the new Clermont LAN will
> also cover the metro areas of Orange and Seminole Counties.)
>
> It is likely we'll be able to use 30-40w UHF radios for all backbone links
> and not more than 60w on 145.07 to get coverage of both counties.
