I wonder if someone tripped the breaker or if it's just getting tired? If it trips again, it's probably time to replace it. Hope it isn't a long trip out to the site.

Two days ago I noticed I did not hear the ID, found one of the Linked Repeaters not up. A quick visit to the site revealed some workers had tripped the breaker on the circuit powering the repeater. Had it back up and running within hours, as opposed to getting the call when I am not able to run out. > > > Joe M. > > However- this is all food for thought. I might consider removing all of the top of the hour ID's. Makes you wonder about all the time put into repeater controller engineering to facilitate things like schedulers and such to make all of these illegal broadcasting possible. > > Thats it- I'm blaming S-Com Bob for all the trouble > > 73's > Tom > W9SRV > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?
