Re: 147.06
开云体育Chris, ? Just remember that you are doing a good thing for some hams that use your system and that is a positive. The fact that no good deed goes unpunished, is something we must look past and concentrate on the Positives we do. In the big scheme of things, the whiners spend much of their time whining and saying what somebody should do. They never dream of getting to work and doing it themselves. So, Thanks for what you and I and lots of other Hams that own, pay for and maintain repeaters, do for people that use our systems for FREE and constantly discuss what needs to be improved or fixed on our systems. Someday maybe I’ll tell you about my time as a frequency coordinator! Keep up the good work! ? 73 Mike NI4M? 146.940 FL ? ? ?

Naw....I have my 146.94 just down the road.....higher and better coverage......the 147.06 is owned by DOW (formerly Dupont) but they moved it off the plant property without approval...and put it on a tower built by DPS.....how they got on it is anyone's guess....originally it was a Kenwood TKR750....the?wideband filter went out so instead of changing it, they put it in NB mode.....that was some smart thinking there.....noone was told it was NB......then they changed it to a YSF rptr...but no internet at the site...and that junk Yaesu has issues.....Nope, I don't?want the hassles...but considering?the good ole boy network around here, I'll just keep?to my systems...of course, as N5CIE told me once at a QCWA lunch, they are jealous of my operation....I don't?care.....the clubs are being run by controlling ex CBers now spreading rumors about me....our ARRL DEC made a statement at a club meeting once that TX and Louisiana cops can't talk to each other...WOW....guess he never read NIFOG...and the amount of interop channels on V/U/7/800 LOL!!!! What a dunce...20-30 yrs ago we all worked together and helped each other....now, if you aren't?part of the cliche, you're a "shady"?character (YES they said that about me.....) Last night at the club meeting they talked about putting Allstar on two rptrs here in the area....I've had it on mine for 4 yrs..(copying is the highest form of flattery I guess)...BUT the other sites don't?have internet (they COULD install it there), so they plan to use remote radios at residential locations to talk to the rptr .....20:1 they won't do it legal (ID on the uplink, not send CT or IDs over the downlink and out Allstar)......I have internet at my site....the Pi4 is plugged into a port on the RLC controller so I have multiple ways to control, split it off, etc....I mentioned at one other club meeting a year ago they should just get internet at a site that has a YSF (they keep talking about doing a wireless link back to a site for that; thats been 4 years now)....it never has been done and the club has $6000 in the treasury.....they could get ATT or a hotspot from T Mobile or Verison?at residential rates...Nope...they didnt?think of it so they arent?going to do it.....and of course all the YSFs here are standalone....wow.....that's a great use of them...LOL ?
