REPEATER GREETINGS ALL This is the second newsletter we’ve put together to keep you informed about the repeater. The last newsletter was done in April. The mailing list was developed and modified the best we could do by trying to identify the regular users and supporters of the repeater. AUTOPATCH SUPPORT Autopatch support remains at $15.00 per year. Besides your autodial number, if you make calls to other numbers with any frequency consider having them programmed into an autodial slot. There are many slots available now, and with the new upgrade to 500 we will have a ton of empty slots to fill. Just let us know. REPEATER WORK Since the last newsletter, a 10 Meter FM module has been
added to the remote base system. By
the time you read this we may have the remote receiver at TOPIC: PUBLIC SERVICE NARES The Norfolk Amateur Radio Emergency Service (NARES)
utilizes 145.33 as their back-up repeater. The
primary is 147.075. The Norfolk ARES
Net meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month at REMOTE BASE/LINKING The repeater has remote bases on 2 meters, 440MHz, 220MHz, and 10 meters FM. This is accomplished by the use of ICOM Band Unit Modules for the IC-900/901 system interfaced through the repeater controller. The capability exists to listen on up to two band units at a time. Linking has tremendous emergency communications potential and can be a lot of fun as well. We will send remote base command codes to autopatch supporters after installation and programming of the new firmware. |
