[K3CAL] PF Repeater Status

[WA4PRR]

All,
I drove by the repeater site just now.  

The Prince Frederick repeater is operating.  However, the transmitter signal is weak.  The receiver sensitivity is also not good.  (My HT had only about a mile or so range).  Clearly something is not right!  

Monday morning, I will call to get access to the site.  I plan to:
1.)  check all connections inside the building
2.)  measure the antenna forward and reflected power
3.)  measure the power out of the repeater & amp
4.)  if the 440 MHz antenna is bad, I will put the repeater on the 2 Meter antenna
5.)  measure the antenna forward and reflected power
6.)  if the 2 Meter antenna works on 440 MHz as it has been reported, we will operate there until the other antenna can be repaired or replaced.
7.)  call the Teltronix Tower folks back out to check their work
8.)  A report on what was found will be sent out
Other suggestions?  73,
