Correct Steve! KC1XX installed the first system's antenna at HQ. It was the 1.2G DV module only. A photo of the first install was also published in a current QST several years back with Matt on the tower.

Really glad to see the new installation take place. steve --- In dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com <mailto:dstar_digital%40yahoogroups.com> , "nj902" <wb0...@...> wrote: > > http://www.arrl.org/news/new-d-star-repeater-now-in-place-in-arrl-laboratory >
