I'm in favor of moving the 442.175. The coverage of the  .700 repeater doesn't seem to be diminished that I can tell at present. If we can get the mifi to work at the water tower, I think the move will not keep those wanting to use it from doing so.

Subject: [PBARC] Moving of the 442.175 DMR repeater

All - 

 

I’m sending out this “questionnaire” to get your thoughts on moving the 442.175 repeater. 

 

As you may know, the Simmons Bank location has served us well but there are issues with the site.  Many of them are environmental and just the ease of being able to work on the equipment.

 

While no site has been identified we are considering looking for a site depending on the feedback we receive.  Our biggest issue is getting internet service.  Many companies won’t allow us to use their company internet (for obvious reasons) so that leaves us with using a mifi device.  Mifi devices don’t work well, if at all, in a metal building.

 

I encourage you to share your thoughts but please be civil and respectful of those that might have differing opinions. 

 

Finally, if you know of someone who is not on this reflector and wants to be, please let me know by direct email not by replying to this email.

 

Tnx es 73,

Glenn
