[SMCARA] 146.775 Repeater...

[Joe Phelps]

To All:

Got to the repeater site a Hermanville this afternoon and found the 
CAT300 controller "locked up" in the autopatch mode.  It was outputting 
a continuous "DTMF" tone pair and the transmitter had timed-out days 
ago.  A simple power off reset didn't help so I killed all power for 
about five minutes and everything seemed to come back normally.

However...  I can't guarantee it won't happen again.  Just a 
reminder...there is NO telephone line at the site and NO autopatch 
capability so if no one pushes any tones through the repeater, this may 
not ever happen again.  (I hope...)
