I used it to power essentials in my home when I lived in Houston, but we put in a whole house generator when we moved to the country. It is a Honda EU6500is and is a variable speed, (relatively) quiet, fuel efficient inverter type generator. 6500 watts peak, 5500 watts sustained. It's 10 years old with only 31 hours on the meter and has been stored inside a garage all the time. It was capable of simultaneously running two small window A/C units, ceiling fans, TVs, a PC, lots of interior/exterior lighting plus all essential appliances. It'll run up to 12 hours on a fill-up. Please email if you are interested or have questions. 73 and stay safe, Jim KE5FN "Fake News" -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

New DG-ID = 10 for Bellville UHF repeater Message-ID: <000301d60c51$a20ec6d0$e62c5470$@katyweb.net> Folks, We have changed the DG-ID of the Bellville UHF repeater back to DG-ID of 10 on send and receive. This was done to block out some remote stations. Some further explanation.DG-ID acts like a digital squelch. When the repeater is set to DG-ID of 00, it lets all traffic through. Now that the repeater is set to DG-ID of 10, only traffic with that DG-ID will be heard. Therefore, set your radio on both send and receive to DG-ID of 10 when using the Bellville UHF repeater. You should also make sure you are running the latest firmware for your radio, as the last firmware update made changes regarding DG-ID. If you don't have the latest firmware, strange things may happen! Let me know if any questions. 73, Roger N5RWK -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Fusion system doesn't know or care where the repeater is.

Reply a.. ? 5h i.. William Hitchcock Justin, Have you had any feedback with the use of base station users using GM turned on 24/7? I have had complaints from repeater users who see the continuing periodic beacons and consider it to be a problem. We discourage its use with repeaters except for special events.Hide or report this a.. Likea.. ? Reply a.. ? 4h a.. Justin Reed GM mode generates a ton of unnecessary transmissions over the air, and the more people use it, the more congested it is. Think of the days of 1200 baud AX.25 packet. You get more than a handful of users on and nobody can talk. GM mode is the biggest joke and wasted effort I've ever seen, and I certainly wouldn't use it across a repeater. Simplex between a small group of people? Maybe... but definitely not through a repeater.1Hide or report this a.. Likea.. ? Reply a.. ? 4h b.. William Hitchcock Thanks, I agree.Hide or report this a.. Likea.. ? Reply a.. ? 3h c.. Chris Petersen I think GM mode has its place, especially during special events on simplex. I've had to shut repeaters down because someone leaves it running overnight and I can't contact them. Many of the radios will beacon every 15 seconds. You can use it when hiking, etc., to make sure you are still in range of everyone else. I've used it to check coverage on my repeater. But I don't think it is useful except if you are sitting in front of the radio and you need to know the status of other stations.Hide or report this a.. Likea.. ?
