Hey folks,

I have had the K3NAL-1 144.39 digipeater (located on board NAS on a 130 
foot tower on the highest point on the station) off the air for a couple 
of days to update the TNC firmware and tweak the radio (a General 
Electric MVP mobile rig about 20 watts RF).  I put it back on today and 
it seems to be working well. Let me know if there are any issues.

I am also working on a new digi that will be up the road a bit and on a 
higher tower. Look for K3HKI-1 as it is on in a test mode from my QTH 
with a relatively low antenna. I'll let you know when it gets on the big 
tower. Same KPC-3+ TNC with a 35 watt radio to generate the RF.  I hope 
that it will fill in some of the gaps to the west and northwest towards 
Dahlgren.  That is a slim area for APRS without the old digi in King George.
