Gabe, et al,

Same code 146.2 on both receive and transmit.

FYI by setting your rig to CTCSS on receive, your squelch will only open when 146.2 is on the received carrier.  That means when Frederick opens up on 64 with their 156.7 PL, you will not hear it.

The temporary repeater is a basic commercial repeater (Kenwood TKR-750) with no bells and whistles.  Just a CW ID and a courtesy beep.  Currently the ID interval is 10 minutes which is too often and the courtesy beep is 5 seconds, which is too long.  I plan on a trip to the repeater site on Friday to change them.  It takes a computer to adjust the repeater settings.  Oh, and the CW ID is a bit slow (10 WPM), so I will also kick it up a bit- how does 35 WPM sound?  Just kidding! The default is 20WPM, which all of us Extras should handle with ease! Oh, Wait....

I was very excited to hear it's receiving issues where resolved and as soon as I got home yesterday I went and grabbed an HT and threw out my call sign and had a QSO in my driveway, then I started calling and texting those I have in my phone to let them know we where back up and running !
