Transition from Facebook to MeWe
开云体育Hello SADRC! ? Many of you may recall that I started the SADRC group with One (1) Simplex node, antenna, and a computer about 3 ? years ago. ?My home node worked so well that others talked me into getting a C4FM repeater. One led to Two (2) repeater that lead to Four (4) more. ? With the support of my partners and this community, we now operate Six (6) repeaters and have several repeater partners that are linked. ?We created a SADRC Facebook account, website () , ?[email protected] ; and sadrc@... for direct contact to our group. ?We just launched our Blanco/Spring Branch repeater and will be acquiring new duplexers that will allow us to operate this repeater at 50 watts. ?We are greatful for your following and we hope you enjoy the information we put on the site. I look forward to seeing new posts almost every other day. ?This group is very personal to me as I have invested so much time and energy into it.? I am greatful to know each and everyone of you.? This group through our Go Fund Me campaign has helped us off set utility and insurance costs so we continue to grow and provide state of the art technology and wide area coverage beyond San Antonio. ? Face Book Transition Due to personal reasons, I need to close our SADRC Facebook account as it’s tied to my personal account and there are some family security issues that are involved.? Put yourself in my shoes as a Father! ? ? I explored transferring the site to one of my partners but since I am closing all accounts, I am locked out and can’t provide updates that are needed. Since I am the originator of the account, I would like to continue the tradition but on a new platform. ??I would ask that you kindly support this transition. It is not my intent to lose FB followers but as I mentioned it is required on my end.? I have exhausted all options when I considered this change. ? I welcome EVERYONE to please follow SADRC on our NEW MeWe platform at the link below. Simply download and click follow. I will be taking the Facebook site most likely by Monday at the latest. ?Please copy and send to others that may not be aware.? ? I apologize for the abrupt change but it is necessary. I would not take this drastic of a decision unless it was absolutely necessary. I spent four (4) years creating this account so it saddens me to have to move it. Please give MeWe a try. We have around 25-30 people that have are began the transition over. ? I will try my best to transfer over as much information as possible.? I have downloaded every file and picture from our FB site. ? If you have any questions, feel free to contact me directly.? Again, I appreciate the support we have from this group and look forward to the transition to the new platform.? Not much changes as we will be sharing information with one another as we have in the past.? I would expect WeMe to continue to provide additional features making it 2nd to none to Facebook in time.? As the owner, I am paying for this platform and I would ask that we give it a try. ? Thanks so much for everyone’s support and cooperation! ?

SADRC Repeater Updates & Help needed from the group
Hello,
Today we installed a 100 Watt Henry amplifier back on line for our 443.200 repeater.?? We also installed our amplifier back on line for our 146.780 with an output of 70 watts to the antenna last month.?? We need to purchase a Pre-Selector to reduce the high noise floor at this site for our 146.780 repeater.?? We hope to be able to find this for under $200.00 We planned on ordering new cables for both repeaters, however, our insurance premium increased and we had to cut a check for $450.00 out of our account. This wiped out our budget for the year.?? The current cables are not adequate and need to be replaced in order for the receiver and transmitter for work in harmony. We have approximately $150.00 for the remainder of the year.?? Our electricity cost with the addition of the AC unit is averaging $80 per month with this high heat.?? We have enough money to cover our electricity for about Two (2) months.?? Again, we don't require money for membership, however, our annual operating cost to keep 2 of our 5 repeaters on the air is about $1200 per year.?? This does not include equipment upgrades, maintenance, repairs, internet, computers, RF links, and internet to run the room and other sites. The other repeater costs come out of our own pockets.?? We plan on putting up a new repeater at I281 and 306 just West of Canyon Lake later this year.?? Duplexers need to be ordered at used cost of about $500.00.?? This will provide coverage all through Canyon Lake and up to 290 and 281. Should you be able to assist us on our Go Fund Me program, any amount you can provide as a "Gift of Money", is appreciated! We are adding repeaters and constantly updating the network. The SADRC room internet connection was upgraded to 400 Mbps down and 25 Mbps Up.?? Our YSF reflector is behind a fire wall so we have carrier speeds. Our Go Fund Me program can be found directly at Again, we are grateful for your support and look forward to meeting in person with you in the near future.?? We are discussing a Winter Field day with more information to come. 73 Doug N8IQT Repeaters :?? 146.780, 443.200, 147.160, 442.750, 441.8125 Other Repeaters:??

Re: [YaesuSystemFusion] re: Yaesu FT2D battery
开云体育I know this question has come come up before regarding the battery life on the FT1-DR, 2DR, and 3DR. See below. 73 Doug N8IQT -------- Forwarded Message --------
If you look back in the threads this has
been discussed. This is due to the fact that the FT-2D is
a soft power button. This means that a small amount of
power is always pulled in order to allow the radio power
button to work.
If the radio is going to be stored then
removing the battery is suggested.
