[RVRC] Two-meter repeater

[Mark]

To All . . . . . 
     I think that the Tech committee should strip the repeater of ALL added systems ....... start with the 'bare bones' repeater temporarily. See if we still are being interfered with. Make sure for certain that the problem is definitely not within our own system somehow/somewhere. Do a process of elimination on our end. If interfearance is still there, then we need to aggressively persue the problem to determine it's source.

Also, if this were a case of an '' intermod.'' condition, the result would be a ''howl or oscillation'' of our audio feeding back into the receiver;  Instead, we hear the 'delay' of the audio as a result of our signal being ''repeated'' back.

I suggest this in lieu of reducing power because that will reduce our usability among ourselves while not really stopping the activity. Because no matter how low we lower the power it is likely the perpetrator will still be able to continue with this activity!
