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.
