We have replaced the repeater, so that much has been done. We may be in the
I thought I'd better update the list on what was found. First off, the
entire repeater was taken in to the shop for exhaustive testing. The can's
were taken apart, inspected and cleaned. All that was visibly found was a
little carbon. The two service monitors showed they were working ok. But,
Good morning group.

Hello folks!
I am hoping that someone might be able to help us. Our Astron RS-35M power

Somebody isn't thinking too clearly on this one. 2 meters is already way
