[HCARC] Redundancy option

[James Froemke]

Since we already have a good repeater site, tower, coax, AC power and functioning internet link why not just place an FM simplex radio adjacent to the repeater and remotely switch the existing coax between them? Then we could operate FM simplex as required when the repeater is iffy. 
A remotely operated FM simplex radio is easy to set up and run from a Windows laptop (with proper signin Authorization) by whoever is authorized to run the simplex “net”.  
Just saying.
