Good Evening All,
??? The KBARA Trailer Repeater is currently being tested and upgraded.?? Jim reports that the Transceiver is functioning properly, and so suspects either the duplexer, cables, or antenna.? He tuned up another duplexer and we will be replacing it tomorrow morning. We will be sweep the cables and antenna as well as "mechanically disturb" them so see if we are dealing with intermittent issues. We will replace whatever is necessary or prudent.
?? There will be a test Net immediately following the weekly KBARA Net next Wednesday.?? We will send out messages to insure club members have the correct frequencies, offset, and tone to prove their radio setup and their ability to communicate through the Club repeater.
?? I am still interested in accumulating and aggregating your favorite (useful ;-) internet links to sites,, Youtube channels, or Phone apps? that other club members may find valuable or entertaining.
