I was monitoring 715 during the net on Sunday night and it was breaking the squelch, lighting one or two s-units at my location 60 to 70 miles away here in Topeka. Probably not reliably workable for me, but definitely getting out there. Do you know what the output power is? And whether that is the same as it was before? 

I also enjoyed reading some of the history on the club's QRZ profile:

Good morning Fellow Hams, 

I hope to provide a quick update on the Seneca repeater. For those of you who have morse code skills, you will notice the repeater id has changed to KB0MU. For those searching for the Echolink link to this repeater, it is now KB0MU-R. 

The more important reason for this communication is to let the MS county hams know the squelch has been loosened or tweaked to provide a little more coverage while still keeping the repeater from constantly burping from RF. The repeater has no tone code. We are hoping some of you will again test your ability to connect through the repeater. I can report that with a 5W handheld with a non-factory, higher gain rubber duckie that I was able to carry on a little bit noisy qso from US36 and 27th Road in MS county or over 20 miles from the repeater site yesterday late afternoon. 

Let us know your results. If you like to email in case you don't catch someone listening, then email to: [ mailto:nemahacountyaro at gmail.com | nemahacountyaro at gmail.com ] 

Thanks and have a great week. 
73's NOUDF
