[nrv-hams] repeater

[Cam Coble]

Russ,
With our repeater being 147.180, we could conceivably run APRS on the same
feed-line/antenna (see link in original email). It would however require
another duplex unit, which is why I mentioned it while the subject was
brought up by Danny.
It would not require an internet connection if used to simply broadcast
it's node information.
It would require another radio.

I wouldn't necessarily think that broadcasting a voice repeater frequency
object would warrant the cost to deploy, but thought it would at least be
something to consider for future growth. Broadcasting the repeater
information is conceivably a way to also generate more use of the repeater.

Like I said, something to consider ;)
Thanks!
