I've seen it happen. Changes in temperature can affect the stability of a transmitter causing it to spur. Intermod sources can come and go with weather changes as well. It's 12 chilly degrees here in western New York and the snow has been heavy all day. 45 would be a heat wave ;-)

Today's high around Tampa about 45 degrees. A bit unusual. My repeater on 224 mhz is having a fit today. Sounds like some kind of a mix getting in, sometimes not strong enough to open the squelch, sometimes it will creep in after the repeater is keyed either by the id'er or someone keying the machine and tripping the cor. My machine is not out in the elements but is also not in a particularly climate controlled location, inside a warehouse. Can the below nom temps be creating some issues with the nearby environment and some equipment elsewhere or is it more likely that something is 'chilly' in my own rack? - Mike __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4740 (20100103) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
