Trip to the Peak - September 22, 2008

Hi

Just a quick note to let you all know that Jim-AB7SI and I made a quick trip to the peak to make the audio adjustments. It took all of maybe 15 minutes but well worth the trip.

The mixer is marked now so if they get moved they can be placed back to the correct settings. Jim also hooked the antenna control back up and that now works as it should. It was a successful trip for us and for the repeater.

Also on the way down Rick was programming the voice slots so today was a great day.

73 de Bill NW7BT

Tone of 100 Hz has now been Turned on.

Well the day started off a bit rough. Rick - K7CAH, Bill - NW7BT, Jim - AB7SI, David - W7AUW and Kim - AC7YY made a trip up to the repeater site today. First, no one had the combination to the lock box, so Jim removed the screen and we able to get into the building. Then Rick fired up his service monitor ..... well it worked last time he used it. That got Rick a bit flustered and when Jim later fired off his camera (With Full Flash) .... Well by that time Rick was a nervious wreck.

But Rick is a veteran and a trooper and managed to not only fix the PL tone, but replaced the repeater with the backup repeater. When we left, the 47 repeater was and is now operating at 100 percent.

Remember to set your radio with a PL tone of 100.00 and you will be very happy with the current status of the repeater.

Let us know how it works for you.
