[SMCARA] Repeater Questions

[Daniel Metcalf]

I have been approached through email several times in the last week by
different individuals about converting out .64 machine to one that can
support digital communications. To be specific they have requested to
convert to the System Fusion by Yaesu. There are some drawbacks and some
advantages. I would like to use this email as a way to start a discussion
as to what the club would like to do.

Personally I would like to leave the .64 as it is but maybe sponsor an
second repeater and have it in reside in the 70cm band. Maybe use the K3NHK
for the repeater's call. Please send me any thought you might have on this
subject and include possible locations for a second repeater if you agree
with me. Right now without installing a new tower in my back yard I have no
idea where a second repeater would be hosted.

Discussion is now open. Have FUN!
