If you start to worry about the kerchunkers your going to drive yourself crazy. I've had several repeaters for years and have learned that the kerchunkers are usually someone who has just discovered your repeater and want to know how it covers an area. They'll drive around testing it in many areas. It usually goes away after a few days when they finish their testing. Other people just kerchunck the repeater to see if it's on the air, or that their radio is still working.
As a repeater owner, you have to deal with many types of people and personalities. If you show that you are getting annoyed, the kerchunking can get worse. Many repeaters in my area have had problems with users, I haven't. The problem people usually go to a repeater where they get attention. I ignore them. 73, Joe, K1ike retiredcss01 wrote: > We have some on our repeater frequency, that just like to kerchunk the > repeater to hear it come back or ID.
