As someone already said it's not always a person kerchunking. I thought we had a kerchunker until I watched a spectrum analyzer tied to the repeater antenna. It turned out to be a little birdie traveling down the band every time a hospital pager was keyed after being off for a while and cooling down. It just happened they were using the same PL as our repeater. Funny thing, Captain Moto took that exciter and put it at another location across town with a different PL. It took another ham repeater group several years to figure out why the kerchunker had moved to their frequency. 73 And good luck Wayne
