CTCSS Access

We've been having problems with 71.9Hz CTCSS for the last month. This issue has now been resolved.

Logic Update

Visited the repeater this week and fitted an updated logic processor.

I have now set up the CTCSS encode so that the 71.9Hz tone is present until after the signal strength pips, this means if you have CTCSS muting enabled on your radio then you will now hear the signal strength before your squelch closes.

• S = STRONG . . .
  
• I = INTERMEDIATE . .
  
• W = WEAK . - -
  

And thanks to Pete G1MQB for reminding me where the light switch is!

1 Year ++

Here we are, it's almost Christmas and we have been on-air for 12 months. Thanks to all our users for their support.

There are a few plans in the pipeline such as updating the SLE Mk2 logic to the latest version, this will allow us to send signal strength pips before teh CTCSS encode is dropped. We have also considered the idea of internet linking (via a radio link), maybe that will happen in 2008.

All the best for Christmas and 2008.
