Hi all,

In no way did I say "using FM" in our new repeaters. So please, because with these digital modes
we now have effective squelch and "valid transmission" checks, we can use SSB transceivers. 
(or SDR)

Back in 1960 or before, the noise quieting mute system was developed and for mobile two-way
radio, FM was the way. AM was abandoned except for aircraft.

HF repeaters never happened except 10m (which is VHF in the old school).

We have a new opening.
