When they're using the Analog side of the repeater and their audio is being torn up by radar, then switch over to the TRBO digital side, their audio is clear as can be. It was funny listening at how shocked they were when they shared this information with me. Both, the Analog and TRBO digital repeaters are at the same site, in the same cabinet, utilizing the same antenna, RX window filter, splitter, etc. The same with the TX side, they both are sharing the same antenna, duplexer, band pass cavity. It's a nice test bed for comparisons. Just my 2 cents. As a side note; There are two more Amateur TRBO repeaters currently being configured for IP Site Connect here in Southern California. I was also informed yesterday, yet another one is in the works for a high level Mt. top site which sounds like it will cover Los Angeles / Riverside. Another buddy of mine gave me a heads up that a club he is affiliated with is interested in acquiring a TRBO repeater as well. It would be nice if just one time slot on each of these repeater were connected via IP Site Connect, and the roaming feature enabled in the portables / mobiles so you'd never have to change channels (to the nearest linked repeater) while driving. The radio would do it automatically for you. Well Have Fun ! Paul Metzger hamradio-dv.org K6EH ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links
