yes I know what you mean but the good Doctor on the voice message need to have an open mind and not expect everyone to give it all away. If he wants an open repeater maybe he need to get one and pay for it. Let everyone use it any time and see how it goes. The days when you built a repeater from parts is almost over now with all the digital systems out there.

Me and another guy have maintained 3 open repeaters in my area, privately owned by choice to avoid the politics. Most local users are supportive but there is one bad apple who constantly complains about them, the clock is off, the audio is off, it builds up the audio, it has PL, it doesnt have PL, the ID sounds low, the ID sounds different, it doesnt need the /R in the ID, he cant hit it in his basement on his handheld 5kc off frequency on low power with a dead battery and the radio turned off and of course................ it's not as good as what he had in Jersey!!! About the time I throw my hands up, someone comes along and says something nice and keeps me going for another week. 73 Chris KC4CMR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
