| 53.75 PL 167.9 Dave, N3NXC and myself, N3FE, went up to Tower Hill on May 7, 2009 and retuned his 6 meter receiver. The receiver is now opening up at .08 and seems to be doing quite well. Give it a try and let Dave know how it is working. 53.75/52.75 PL 167.9. |
444.600 PL 127.3 The 444.600 on Dutch Hill will taken taken down sometime in the near future for a PA replacement. The current PA is only putting out 4-5 watts. I have a 75 watt PA to put back in it. I was up at the site and removed the PL encoder on 5/11/2009 thinking that the user input PL would generate enough for the link receivers to pick it up. They do but the Link doesn't. I will look into this. |
| 146.910 PL 127.3 I believe something is loose on the tower. It will just start getting crackles on the receive for some unknown reason. Nothing in the repeater is using double shielded coax so I know that isn't the issue. I am thinking the problem is on the tower. |
Inventory I am fresh out of repeater controllers at the moment. I do have a few spare pieces of GE Mastr II equipment in case something fails, but not much. The equipment is getting much harder to find at reasonable prices. If you have anything let me know. |

More NewsI have decided to only work on my own equipment at this time. I am having fun with the 146.910, 442.850, and the 444.600 repeaters. I have received emails from people asking me to either service their repeaters or make changes. I don't want to be held responsible for other peoples equipment. Something happened where someone dropped off something at my house and it disapeared from my back porch. I don't ever remember seeing it. |
147.060 This repeater seems to be working quite well. They have added an additional receive on the Morris Fire Tower. They have also cleaned up all the antennas at the transmitter location and are down to just one omni directional UHF antenna for receive only. For more information on this repeater contact Dale WB3DLN, Phil KA3VRW, or Mike NM3O.

Happy New Year!
We have made some changes to the repeater system and things are working great! 442.850 is now up at Tower Hill near Jackson Summit and it has quite the coverage. It can be easily work in North Central, PA, the Finger Lakes of NY and the South Western PA of New York. This repeater requires the use of a 127.3 PL (encode/decode). The repeater also have a 32 channel VHF remote base on it that can be used as needed.
