The repeater is up and running on the bench running at low power into a dummy load. It is currently peered with Randy Fisher’s 443.100 machine in Ft. Wayne to take part in their initiatives for a state-wide system.
I’m hoping to get the external antenna up at the QTH this weekend. The antenna and mount should be here this week. There is also the possibility that the machine may move to a much higher profile site, but that is still developing.
I’ve programmed up my SL7550 for it and while I’m home, I will be monitoring the various talk groups via my machine. So far, so good. It’s humming along.
