Dwight, I checked the rec sens of the Louden site this morning (Sat) and it was still at about 12 to 13 mv which I looked at the maintenance log and that is what it was when I checked it before. i did not turn off the Louden site and check the Eigenmann but will do that this week also. Richard

The 146.640 Monroe County Repeater Association repeater went off line 4/3/07 at about 4:45pm during a nasty lighting storm. The Arcom repeater controller was found to be in a lights out state and a simple power cycle reactivated the system 4/4/07 at about 8:45am. I took this opportunity to upgrade the firmware to version 4.69. WB9TLH

Tested Eigenmann and Louden receivers for real world coverage. 29mv for Eigenmann and 12mv for Louden to open the squelch from Richard's house. This was the first time Louden was measured so 12mv is our baseline for this site. WB9HXP

Updated configuration to bmg120.dat, this added macro 999 (time ID) and beefed up the security read back on command codes. Disabled the 443.775 remote receiver link as it was interfering with our Louden remote link. WB9TLH

Added Resistor to RC-210 controller mother board to fix problem with CW ID over riding users voice. Updated configuration file to bmg119.dat removing old macros that were only used during system check out. Added more digits to command macros for extra security. WB9TLH, KB9SGN

2006/07/5Tested the Kenwood repeater receiver for real world coverage. At 29mv the squelch opened from Richards house, the best it has ever done is 25mv. The Transmitter was S9 at Kirksville, same as last time it was checked on the test receiver and antenna. WB9HXP, WB9TLH2006/06/28
Kenwood/RC-210 repeater operational, remote receiver will be on line in a few weeks. WB9TLH, KB9SGN.

Tested the Icom/S-com repeater receiver for real world coverage. At 30mv the squelch opened from Richards house, the best it has ever done is 25mv. As a side note the K9IU repeater receiver required 300mv, the best it has ever done is 141mv. The k9iu receiver needs to be looked at. WB9TLH, N9RGI and WB9HXP.
