[RVRC] System Fusion

I realy agree with Drew. Since the PL was changed the repeater activity has declined because some rigs are programmed via computer and the computer programs are not available to all for instanceMotoraola  to name one and there are more. Increased dues caused a lot of members to drop out. Now we have less money coming in, so we gained nothing raising the dues.                                              john....WA2F=============================================================----- Original Message -----From: "E.
