My opinion is that a repeater should be used a lot, that way it's known to be reliable in case of emergency use. Plus, as you say, there'll be people listening. Richard, N7TGB _ From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursda

If you are giving a traffic report and it takes over 30 seconds, you are not giving a report. You are having a conversation. Keep It Short and Simple. Remember , the person on the other end is trying to filter the basic facts from all the bs. Johnny >>The 146.82 repeater in Los Angeles has

Hi Some of the 1500's had a GPIB bus connector on the back which looks like a parallel port-DB25. If you have that model, then all you need is a GPIB controller and some (major) programming and voila, you can have the output from your IFR. If yours doesn't have the GPIB then there is no provis
