[GCARC] 2M repeater and/or echo link issues

[Jeff One]

All,
I think the problem tonight had to with interference on the repeater input
147.780. When the repeater IDs the signal comes out on 147.180 and it was
loud and clear with no static. But when someone talks the signal is going
into the repeater on 147.780. Maybe the interference is somewhere
east/southeast of the repeater because Lenny and Al were strong on the input
with hardly any static. Gary had some static as well as Steve. And I was way
down in the weeds.

EchoLink is not the problem. The EchoLink computer has nothing to do signal
strength. All the software does is electronically key the mic and process
the audio.

And Steve would say, I am off my soapbox.

I am glad it wasn't just me. Had my Allstar node connected via Echolink, but
W2MMD didn't appear to be passing traffic.
