NEW THIS WEEK!!!!!
 
Rob / KV8P
 
The TMRA 6 meter repeater is now officially "on the air" (as of December 22nd). The frequency is 53.110 with a 1 MHz negative offset (repeater receives on 52.110).  Note that we have noticed that many radios are not programmed with an automatic offset for 6 meters (or have the wrong offset for a different country).  Therefore, you may need to configure the offset spacing in your radio which typically can be done via a visit to your radio manual.  This setting is often one in your radio's menu setting. 
The repeater will eventually be in 103.5 pl tone squelch, however, it is currently in carrier squelch for testing.
We still have a little audio tweaking to do, and the receiver is not quite as sensitive as we would like quite yet, so watch for some improvements in the coming weeks.  (right now, you will likely hear it better than it hears you).
Thanks to Rich (KQ6EF) for his major role in bringing the 6 meter repeater online!  Also, thanks to Rich, Tom (KD8WCD) and Mike (W8MAL) for raising the repeater antenna!
