All,
The good news:
- We restored power TEMPORARILY: One 45 A supply floated across 2 100 AH
batteries.
- 444.85 is up and running
The not so good news
- This means that after about 1/2 hour up the 375 repeater will loose power as
it (normally) draws more than 45 amps.
The bad news -
- 375 isn't putting out enough power to measure on a Bird watt meter. Looks
like the exciter since I saw no power there either.
- The power wiring, power supply and batteries are STRICTLY TEMPORARY and will
be made permanent, in it's new home ONLY after the place is cleaned up.
We NEED a new phone line interface NOW (no - not doing a radio link) to
eliminate the rest of the deteriorating wiring.
