[K3CAL] NEW K3CAL Repeater System

[KB3WFV]

Good Evening.

Today January 28th 2023. Dave W3PQS, Bob N3PPH and myself along with Lisa my wife. Installed both the 444.950 repeater in Lusby and the 146.985 repeater in Sunderland. Installation included two Arcom RC210 controllers, two Arcom ADR interfaces and both of the Motorola CDM 1550 link radios. 

It is a pleasure to announce that the efforts of today have paid off. THE REPEATERS ARE LINKED!

Currently the 146.985 2 meter repeater in Sunderland is RF linked to the 444.950 70cm or 440 repeater in Lusby. This linked system substantially iincreases the VHF / UHF coverage area of any amateur station fixed station, mobile station or hand held station. Please know that like any linked system there is some delay between the time a user keys up and the time that all of the transmitters come up to full power. As a result and to avoid cutting your self off please pause about 1 second after key up before speaking. This will ensure that everything you say will be transmitted by the repeaters.
