SCARS Repeater Update: Digi Update, Other News
http://scarsrepeater.blogspot.com/2013/02/digi-update-other-news.html
A spot to keep the SCARS membership up-to-date on the club's repeater systems. Digi Update, Other News. Your editor apologizes for the lack of updates. The NORMAN digi remains off the air. During this hiatus, the Technical Committee is taking the opportunity to clean and test the equipment. The digi will be off the air for some time, for reasons explained at the last club meeting. On a recent visit, settings were tweaked on the repeater in an attempt to prevent unannounced repeater time-outs.

SCARS Repeater Update: 11/29/09 - 12/6/09
http://scarsrepeater.blogspot.com/2009_11_29_archive.html
A spot to keep the SCARS membership up-to-date on the club's repeater systems. The repeater, not the Weird Al movie. Please tune to 443.7000 MHz, tone 141.3, and give it a test drive. This 10-year-newer Motorola unit was a gift from Ken, KC5OU, who found it online and gave it a new home. Controller for the unit is a Computer Automation Technology. Although used, it is in very clean condition. KC5OU and your editor took it out to the site and installed it today. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

SCARS Repeater Update: 11/6/11 - 11/13/11

A spot to keep the SCARS membership up-to-date on the club's repeater systems. Repeater Status Update - November 6. Your SCARS Technical Committee has not been having fun over these past few weeks. About the end of September, the crunch monster returned. To the VHF repeater. Since then, things have become less-fun. There are two things going on; RF issues and controller issues. In our case, one of the transmissions was easy to ID: it's the club's UHF repeater! What's harder to hear - and ID - is the seco...

SCARS Repeater Update: 11/13/11 - 11/20/11
http://scarsrepeater.blogspot.com/2011_11_13_archive.html
A spot to keep the SCARS membership up-to-date on the club's repeater systems. A representative of the Technical Committee visited the main repeater site on Friday, 11/11. The repeater controller was re-initialized using special software from the vendor then had the firmware and our configuration reloaded. As of this writing, all seems well. The recorded announcements were not reloaded due to a "connector failure" (as in the TechComm rep did not have the correct adapter! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

SCARS Repeater Update: 5/9/10 - 5/16/10
http://scarsrepeater.blogspot.com/2010_05_09_archive.html
A spot to keep the SCARS membership up-to-date on the club's repeater systems. We had a recent event where a ham was sitting on or otherwise keying his mic unintentionally. Unfortunately, the ham's rig was tuned to the 147.06 repeater! This caused the repeater to become unusable, of course. The repeater itself will timeout if a station transmits for longer than 3 minutes. Fortunately for the rest of us, this did not happen late in the afternoon of May 10. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

SCARS Repeater Update: Timers
http://scarsrepeater.blogspot.com/2014/02/timers.html
A spot to keep the SCARS membership up-to-date on the club's repeater systems. Timers on the VHF system are set as follows:. Hang time: 3 s. Time repeater carrier stays up after a user unkeys. Courtesy tone delay: 250 ms. Time between when user unkeys and courtesy tone sounds. Repeater time out: 180 s (3 min). Kerchunk timer: 150 ms. Filters out many kerchunkers and lots of key-ups from interference. ID timer: 540 s (9 min). A 150-ms delay to eliminate kerchunkers and stray keyups;.

http://scarsrepeater.blogspot.com/2011_06_19_archive.html
A spot to keep the SCARS membership up-to-date on the club's repeater systems. We'll need to make some tweaks, of course. Kyle already dialled back. The too-aggressive kerchunk filter and I'm sure there will be others. Special thanks to Ken B, Ken E, Kyle K for doing the work, Phil S and. Bill L for the supervision, and our friends from the Cleveland County. Sheriff's Office, John G and Jon L (both hams). Next up: Tower work! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Your SCARS Technical Committee.
