[FPARC] D-Star Repeater

[W4kkw at aol.com]

I just  wanted everyone know that we have our D-Star UHF Repeater on the 
air at 444.500.  The repeater is sharing the same antenna with the 444.800 
repeater at 500 feet  and seems to be working fine. The D-Star repeater is not 
hooked up to the D-Star  Gateway yet but hopefully we will be next week so 
it will just work as a  repeater.   I’ll let everybody know when we get the  
repeater hook up to the D-Star gateway so we can link up to other Repeaters 
or  Reflectors and received calls from DV Dongles or have call forwarding.  
I would like to thank everyone that came  out and worked on this project it 
was a lot of fun and hard work but well worth  it. I would also want to give 
special thanks to Greg KB4VVE for his knowledge  and helping us with the 
combiner and hooking up and tuning up the repeaters.  Art Lindel would have 
been real  proud about getting D-Star on the air... We were thinking about him 
as we worked  on this project and we did this in his memory. 
Thanks, Kevin W4KKW
