Amen to that !!! 40 years ago would have been even better - (if there had been an internet)

When I first started building repeaters in the late 1980's & early 1990's, I had to figure out everything myself or hope that someone in my handful of technical oriented friends would know the answer. For example; I remember in about 1993 trying to set up my 2 meter repeater to encode 2 different PL tones at the same time. I eventually figured out how to do it, but I spent a lot of time figuring it out. Today, we just ask that question on this forum and someone can explain how to make it work. I wish this forum and the repeater builder website had been around 20 years ago!
