From bryan at flscg.org Sat Jul 28 23:18:50 2018 From: bryan at flscg.org (Bryan Fields) Date: Sat, 28 Jul 2018 23:18:50 -0400 Subject: [FSG-public] Update on the 443.525 repeater Message-ID: We did some work today on the 443.525 repeater to investigate the noise. The DB-410 antenna we're on is the cause, and as it's about 40 years old, it will need to be replaced. We're on a backup antenna now (hambone special) and it's working. As part of this we're likely going to rethink some of the original install issues at the site. The 3.4 GHz radio to St Pete has been replaced and the firmware is upgraded. As a bonus for testing we have left the 224.280 repeater keyed up, so you may notice it. 73's -- Bryan Fields, W9CR Florida Simulcast Group, Inc.
