[MCARC] Seneca 715 Repeater

[Michael Philbrick]

Hello Fellow Hams,

I just wanted to give an update after today's tinkering. The past couple of
days and I'm going to use the wrong terminology, but the repeater had
pretty much a constant hiccup from stray or distance RF (probably Papillon,
NE) and most times would not cause the id to happen. This was causing
concern because the last time this was occurring, the repeater was lost as
the finals were ruined. So, the squelch pot in the controlling interconnect
was slightly adjusted to require a stronger signal for activation. We are
not sure what the range will be after this tinkering. Testing was done with
HT inside Seneca city limits and the repeater was still able to be keyed on
5W. It would be interesting to know if those of you who tested when the
machine first went back into service can still connect. Of course, if you
didn't earlier and choose to now, that would also be great. The repeater
continues to be an open repeater and does not need a tone at this time. For
those who want to try something different, the repeater is now also
accessible via EchoLink as KB0DEU-R on your phone, tablet or computer.
