Dennis,
if the cabinent was in the building behind me it is gone,but I have motorola in door cabinet in the house next door,and there is a outdoor cabinet on the Greenleef elevavator,it is a Johnson CR-1000 about 4.5 feet tall,that Im going to take off,also have a GE cabinet about 7 foot tall ,you can have that also,I will take a picture of it and send it to today.
Pass this on.
I will send my dues to Mike.
We could put that big VHF/UHF antenna back up and see if you could get 4 that is east of McCool Junction,10.3,10.4,10.5 are on it.

Well, a couple of suggestions, first I have the radio for packet you can have, and it is still crystalloid for 145.050,, and for sure cannot be used on any other freq. Also the power supply, and TNC are available if you guys want it. And the cabinet as well, in other words, the complete works for Packet. The problem for me is the TNC has a connector for serial computers. Maybe someone could make up something.

True, but how often would that really happen with our typical usage of both systems? My guess is it would be pretty rare....
Question: what packet frequency was BRK on? 145.010? If not, I vote for .010 if we put packet back up there....
If we can only have one, I vote for the .285 repeater....

You're reading my mind...
The controller won't but there are plenty of Raspberry Pis around and
AllStarLink would be interesting.

There would be too much desense each way unless there is substantial
vertical separation of the antennas.

I've got the AA-230 ZOOM as well and have AntScope2 all loaded and
ready...

Thanks, Farren.
