Looks like I get my day off tomorrow so Larry and I are going to re-align the audio on 449.875 tomorrow afternoon so its not so hot compared to the other repeaters. We think the issue is a result of the blown capacitor we had a while back, when I fixed that the bias voltage on all the audio stages in the control shelf changed, so the audio levels all changed. 



Other items on the gripe list we will attempt to address as time permits: 

 - Forced CW ID is too loud 

 - Reverted CW ID is too quiet  (may have programmed the levels backwards...) 

 - Fix bug in the midnight macro that links before changing access mode 

 - Add logic line to strip TX PL from the UHF, program a corresponding function 

 - Create a timer macro to strip TX PL for a few hours on UHF if there are 2 rapid time-out events 



So expect some intermittant outages and 1KHz test tones on 449.875 Friday afternoon. As always anyone who wants to help out is welcome just contact me for a definite time.
