[Repeater-Builder] Repeater help needed in Western VA
Fellows, I haven't had any volunteers yet, so I thought I would plead again: I am writing on behalf of a customer of mine. He bought a 2M repeater from me and is having trouble getting it going. I think he needs help getting his duplexer tuned and cabled correctly. He seems like a nice enough fellow. He had a fall some time ago that fractured most of his limbs. Needless to say, getting around is difficult. At any rate, he has a decibel products 6-8 cans that he is only getting about 60dB of isolation out of. (A local radio shop tuned them. HIHI) The local guys around him seem incredibly inept when it comes to repeaters. One of them even told him that his repeater was upside down because: that's not how my radio is programmed!! (upside down between a mobile and repeater setup) Is there any list member, or does anyone know someone, that is close to Big Stone Gap, VA 24219 that might be able to give this fellow a hand? He looks to be about 2 hours NE of Knoxville. I'm sure reasonable compensation would be offered. I'd help him out myself, but it's a 7 hour drive for me. Let me know if you'd be willing to give it a shot and I'll put you in contact with the gentleman directly. Thanks, Scott Scott Zimmerman Amateur Radio Call N3XCC 474 Barnett Road Boswell, PA 15531
