Many years back, we set up our repeater to operate
tone access only during the hours of 0000-0530 or so.
It was done to keep a particular clown from out of town
from playing around during the wee hours. The controller
had a scheduler that allowed for this option. IT WORKED!
You might also be able to program it so that it would
be accessible during certain hours if a DTMF code or
sequence were entered.

Have the local hams considered creating access tones or touch-tones to
activate and de-activate the repeaters? There is obviously no easy solution
if you are trying to block truckers, but since most truckers are from
out-of-town, you might try some of the following tricks...
Setup a tone access. Let everyone know that you will be changing the tone
each week. This week it is 88.5, next week it will be 123, etc. There is
also the possibility that you could require an access key to enable the
repeater for half an hour, for example, send 123 on a touch pad and the
repeater is up for 30 minutes. 321 and it only listens for the 123 tones.
Obviously an inconvenience, but you are inconvenienced already.
Just a thought.

Hi Group,
<<<< SNIPPAGE >>>>
Now to satisfy those that are wondering about the 2M by hams in the area,
there are Truckers and similar types using 2M (unlicensed) around these
parts so several of the repeaters have been turned off.
