[K3CAL] Digital simplex test results

[Jim Tetlow]

That was a good start, good call Eric. BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO BOB?

Eric the station you heard earlier on the repeater was Tim Nagel KB3YQK, he
has the 400 mobile and lives in the Bowie Area. I saw him over the weekend
he has had the 400 since it hit the street, no one to play with, but has
found many other neat things the radio does without digital. He has been
using it APRS among many other things. I told him to try and hit the
repeater in digital mode the signal may get in the RX better than FM analog.
Just has to remember to switch to digital every time he talks. I thing you,
Bob and Ed may have been doing that as you were all very strong. I was in FM
on B band monitoring 146.580 in Digital Narrow band. I liked Bob's thought
on having a Meet with the New Jersey Club....but what happened to Bob????

73 Guys, see some Wednesday at lunch, and most Thursday at the meeting. 

The mesh is cool, but Digital rules!

Jim Tetlow
