Both bands are now using the highest antenna at 274’ above ground level. As a result, UHF should have a better “reach” than previously. I’d also like to thank Dan for giving me some badly needed Elmering about cans and duplexers!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Again, remember the UHF repeater is digital only, and you must use a DG-ID of 00, which acts as a digital squelch. The VHF repeater is FM analog only. However, UHF digital traffic will be repeated on VHF analog, and vice versa.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>WithIn the next couple of days, I should have the VHF repeater set up so it identifies itself again. There will also be a short courtesy beep indicating the end of a transmission.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please exercise the repeaters as much as possible over the next few days. I’ll be monitoring most of the time. Let me know if you experience any trouble with the repeaters, or if you have any questions!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thx es 73,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Roger N5RWK<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
