A few comments about 23 cm. I used to operate an analog 23 cm repeater. It was located at the same (urban) site as a 440 repeater. They got almost identical coverage. Obstructions are problem for 23 cm. A brick wall can literally be a brick wall for a 23 cm signal. But, as several people

Gene, I personally don't know if it is reporting DD vs DV - but it does give an indication that 23cm is being used. genedathe wrote: John, I'm confused; by searching as you suggest, does that tell me if the activity was DV or DD? How do you distinguish? Thanks! 73 de NAØG Gene - --

On the W1KK system we recently upgraded the 23cm duplexer to be a triplexer. And we've got a new antenna and a couple of hundred feet of 1 5/8 that will be going up as soon as the WX permits. With decent HAAT 23cm plays quite well ... not much different than 33cm and we have a lot of new 33cm
