[Repeater-Builder] On The Air!
Well, I finally got the opportunity to change out the repeaters on my 900 MHz pair - the "temporary" repeater (which belonged to Ryan - K9ZOE) was taken off the air and my machine was placed into service. I am now operating on the machine I built. Woo-Hoo!! Unfortunately, it seems there is a bit of desense associated with it and I did not have a service monitor to bring along with me today. But at least it is on the air and playing relatively well. I did note a high level of noise on the band (it actually opens the receiver on my HT) so I'm not totally certain that the problem is in my equipment. (Maybe 900 MHz cordless phones in the building? This is a senior citizen high-rise.) I plan on making another trip to the site after the holidays to do any necessary "tweaking" - I figure this will give the repeater some time for a "shake-down run" of sorts. I'll bring all the test equipment necessary when I go back up. Mark - N9WYS N9WYS/R 927.5250 / 902.5250 PL151.4 (Joliet, IL)

Mark, What is the offset? Where is it located?

John, It utilizes a "standard" 5 MHz offset. Located in Joliet, IL. This is that Unified Chassis MICOR Community Repeater I've been battling with for the past few months.
