Weekly breakfast get-together was at 7-Clans Casino Warroad 2/3/18
(2013? n0ukf)
A special LOWRA (Lake of the
Woods Repeater Association) club meeting was held at the Patch
Restaurant in
Warroad, on February 11 at 9 a.m., to discuss solutions for the
interference
problem with the 147.000- repeater in Roosevelt. The repeater has been
keying
up very often over the last month or so. I (Art) thought it was a
receiver
problem, so I built a complete new repeater and scrapped the old radio.
The
problem did not change; the repeater continued to key up all the time.
There
were only a couple things we could do to keep the repeater on line and
useful.
The only viable choice from my perspective was to enable the
sub-audible
(CTCSS) tone squelch on the receiver.
We all had breakfast, and then voted on the choices for the 147.000- repeater. It was decided to enable the tone squelch of 123.0 Hz. The vote was 100% for enabling the CTCSS tone, this making the repeater closed. I will reprogram the Voice ID to indicate the tone frequency so people from outside the area will know what the tone frequency is. The meeting was attended by the following LOWRA members:
Art Johnson, Dave Landby,
Bill Landby,
Mick Everett,
Richard Mattson,
Rolland Fredrickson,
