A Place On The . Net

We got all the audio alignment done, including the link radios.  We also proved that the channel steering for the link radios works just fine.  I haven't yet tuned any UHF duplexers. 

The bad news is that the VHF duplexers really aren't wanting to tune properly.  I got them as close as I could but they aren't doing well on receive.  Ideally we should replace these, I just don't know if that's going to be in the cards. 

So the 145.230 repeater is on the air.  It's working on a temporary antenna mount.  Here's what remains:

• Need to check with the state and see if the poles are staying or going.  Also, when I was told we could mount on the pole there wasn't anything on it and now there is an antenna there.  So I better confirm where they want us.  Then install all antennas.
• Need to either modify or replace the VHF duplexers.
• Tune UHF duplexers and install.
• Finish programming of the controller.
• Install a transparent packet link on UHF for programming and control.

As always, Mark and I are looking for help with any of this.
