Today with the help of Dan, K9DKC, we changed out antennas on the repeater. We are now using an UHF base antenna mounted at the top of a push-up pole. The repeater is still at my residence, but no longer using a dual band J-Pole in the attic.
Additionally, the repeater is now connected via EchoLink. The node number is 9600 and the callsign is NF9K-R. So log onto EchoLink and join the fun!
I’m also working on interfacing the repeater controller with a weather radio. During times of a watch or warning, the repeater will make an announcement every 10 minutes regarding the watch or warning status.
