Yeah, I guess what I meant to say is that it doesn't bring the repeater up on its own i.e. it's not transmitting the required CTCSS tone. Right now we're thinking it might be a nearby Wide digipeater, since the frequency and timing of the bursts (when they happen) is too often and random for it to be a single station. That will be one of the first places to look after we all get back in town after the holidays. For now, the project is on hold until the egg nog is gone and the ball is dropped. Merry Christmas all! 73, Andy KB9JOZ
