ALL:

I tuned up the 6 meter repeater this morning.  It turned out that the
sensitivity was down probably due to just sitting untouched all these
years.  I went through the alignment procedures in the manual adjusting
the coils on the helical filter.  When I touched the adjustable capacitor
at the front end of the filter the receiver jumped to life.

Before adjusting anything the detectable signal was -90 dBm.
When I left today, detectable signal is -127 dBm.  Squelch breaks at -123
dBm.
These measurements are at the receiver input.  Subtract a couple dB for
the Duplexer.

All you 6 meter repeater users are encouraged to check out the repeater. 
And, send any comments.

73,
