Repeater History
-
March 28th, 2004: After over two years the coordination was finally issued by the FRC. The repeater goes on the air! -
April 30th, 2004: At 1:00 PM new CAT-300DXL controller is online. This adds a lot of new features to the repeater. This also allows for future expansion with more options.
-
May 16th, 2004: Echolink is added. Unfortunately this did not work out too well. The computer I had available was underpowered and kept crashing. I had to pull the plug on Echolink after about a month. Perhaps I will give it another try when I have more time to play with it.
-
January 11th, 2005: The CAT DX-200 weather receiver is installed. This gives the repeater automatic weather alerts for selected severe weather events.
-
January 24th, 2006: Installed CAT DR-1000B Digital Voice Recorder option.
