Bryan W9CR has let me know that he has finished the technical integration of
\nthe new Quantar system with the CAT300 controller and the refurbished
\nduplexer. From what I have seen from the tests, I’m expecting excellent
\nperformance from this system. The Quantar and the duplexer survived 24
\nhours at maximum power without raising a sweat. We are burned in and ready
\nfor launch!<\/p>\n
So, the new 105 is now released from integration\/test and released for
\nproduction.<\/p>\n
So, here is what will be happening in the next several days, due to this
\nbeing a Holiday weekend:<\/p>\n
– Bryan will finish the interconnection cables and feedline from the All of the above WILL REQUIRE 105 TO GO OFF THE AIR, POSSIBLY FOR AN Once the Quantar is up and running, this will then complete phase 1 of the As I stated before, I would appreciate signal reports, especially from Phase 2 will require help from AG4QX and KJ4JYV (Internet drop and In the next month, we will implement 24x7x365 audio logging on the repeater More details about the new operating parameters of the repeater will follow.

\nDemarc to the repeater rack.
\n– I need someone “young” and “flexible” to volunteer to remove the old
\nLightning Arrestor and install the new one in the bulkhead and help with the
\ngear at the EOC.
\n– We will wait until after TARC Net this Tuesday<\/span><\/span>. Tuesday<\/span><\/span> should be
\nthe final TARC Net with the Yaesu system online
\n– On Wednesday<\/span><\/span> or Thursday<\/span><\/span> of next week, around people schedules, the
\nfollowing will happen:
\no Take the system offline and remove the Yaesu Repeater, loaner
\nduplexer and existing circulator
\no Clean up the rack and remove everything that won’t be needed for the
\nnew machine
\no Remove the RG8 feedline to the bulkhead
\no Remove and replace the existing Lightning Arrestor with a new one
\no Rack up the duplexer, the Quantar and the CAT300
\no Run the new feedline to the rack from the bulkhead
\no Plug the whole shebang in and test it on air, check SWR and power
\noutput
\no Make rack look nice and add blank panes, clean up and tidy wiring<\/p>\n
\nEXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME! Also, we really DO NOT need an audience at the
\nrepeater site to cheer us on. Just stay at home and wait for us to install
\nthe system. Then rejoice in the new system’s performance. Leave the heavy
\nlifting up to us!<\/p>\n
\nproject.<\/p>\n
\nstations that were “fringe” before. Try using it with a handheld. Try low
\npower on your mobile. Let us know how the coverage is and how it differs
\nfrom what we are operating now. I believe you will all be very happy with
\nthe resulting coverage. Remember that this is a COMMERCIAL repeater. Hi Fi
\naudio is not its strong point. Communications quality audio is what it was
\ndesigned to deliver.<\/p>\n
\ntelephone). Gentlemen, please call or email me, I have some questions for
\nyou.<\/p>\n
\nfor license security reasons. We will also need to speak with the Net
\ncoordinators for TARC Net and the CERT net (is this still being done?) so
\nthat we can set up both the DVR messages and any timers that need to be set
\nup for these functions.<\/p>\n
\nFolks, now is the time for you to read your radio manual and learn how to
\nset your radio to use CTCSS (PL) receive decoding. Trust me on this, you
\nwill not want to operate without this once you listen to how quiet things
\nsound with this option turned on. The repeater will generate 146.2 PL
\n(CTCSS) on its OUTPUT, as well as REQUIRE this tone on its INPUT. Due to
\nthe way the system control parameters will be implemented, not only will we
\nhave courtesy tones again, but you will NEVER hear a squelch crash ever
\nagain!<\/p>\n
