Subject: [TMRA] 442.850 is FM ONLY going forward
Message-ID: <CADXDW4RE_+zknugvcK2mTYbH4BTeDbJ6h6VZMnd1Q2-uQy1CqQ@mail.gmail.com>

As of today, the 442.850 repeater is FM ONLY and is no longer available for
Yaesu Fusion/C4FM use starting today.  While the repeater can be linked to
147.27, it is being left "unlinked" for the time being.  (We may eventually
re-link them just for the Sunday night nets.)

For those that are curious, we placed the Icom repeater back in-line and
the Fusion/C4FM system is being sent out for an upgrade.  When the fusion
repeater returns, the technical committee intends to place the Fusion
repeater in Digital C4FM mode on Wires-X (internet linked) downtown on
146.835- where we will be giving it a good trial run.  If it works well we
intend to leave it active there downtown on digital Wires-X. 146.835 will
likely stay offline until the fusion repeater goes active (D-Star on
146.835 is currently offline).  Note also that the 70cm D-Star systm is
still online and active and will stay available with no changes.

We'll send out an update email and update the website when the Wires-X
Fusion repeater is online and available on 146.835. (likely 3-4 weeks out)

One additional side note, the Icom repeater (442.850) hears a little better
(is more sensitive) than the Fusion system did, and we placed the system
back on the single antenna today.  Therefore, we will be looking for signal
report input in the coming weeks.

Thanks to those that helped with the transition today (KQ6EF, KD8WCD,
KC8UFV and AA8HS).  Many hands made for quick work!

73, Rob - KV8P and the TMRA Technical Committee

The Sunday night net script is configured to link and unlink all 3 FM repeaters.

I just got back from a meeting with the Glass City Marathon race 
director. He returned to me an HT that was apparently found at one of 
the water stops after last years event. I'm not sure why it took them so 
long to realize they had it but if it's yours let me know so I can get 
it back to you.

Message-ID: <d8ee0686-c5b7-39d7-d75f-41ff29d8a150@gmail.com>

Greetings.

If you are interested in learning how to setup and operate using FLdigi, 
K4REF has put together 6 teaching and demonstration videos.

I have them listed below.

I suggest you view them and follow along as he does an excellent job of 
instructing.

Tuesdays at 7:45 on the 147.270 repeater we will be holding a soundcard 
/voice net to get stations operational using FLdigi software. If you can 
hear the repeater, you should be able to copy the FLdigi transmissions 
and decode same.
