All,
Al Arrison kb2ayu reported at this evening's board of director's meeting that today he was able to complete installation of our backup 'n2fly' 2 meter repeater as a replacement to our problematic 2 meter repeater at the water tower site. This is good news! This includes on-air audio adjustments with help from other hams that were on frequency today. He also reports that the 70 cm repeater has also been brought back online, and verified linked operations with the 2M repeater in anticipation of both units being able to be used for the ARES/RACES net this weekend.
At this point, both repeaters are deemed ready for an operational field trial.
But that is where we need your help.
We need to characterize the behavior of the new repeater, so that we can make additional adjustments, as necessary.
So please give your club's replacement repeater a workout if you can over the next two weeks, so that we can compare notes and collect your feedback at the next club meeting (Wed Sept 4)!
Thank you in advance,
Jim Wright n2gxj
