Yep. Keep us informedmeg wrote:I'm up for next week, I may even have a radio that can do 70cm by then also if that makes repeater choice easier
It's not too bad later in the evening on weekends. That noise isn't echolink, it's LIPD noise and happens without a link. With a bit of luck we can keep RLM as a backup if it gets linked this weekslipknot wrote:vic park, yes 70 cms, it has echolink but when your trying to talk on it using echolink it makes the audio shutter like a machine gun as Robbage said.

I can hit the Vic Park repeater, though it does seem rather noisy?

Re: WARSUG net
There's a bit of hiss on the repeater tail, but nothing overly much... It's usually pretty reasonable for me. What about the voice ident, how does that come through for you?meg wrote:I can hit the Vic Park repeater, though it does seem rather noisy?

Re: WARSUG net
That's exactly it - noisy tail on the repeater beep. The voice ID is fine though. Is it noisy (usually) in use? (ie: do people sound noisy through it?)Zebedee wrote:There's a bit of hiss on the repeater tail, but nothing overly much... It's usually pretty reasonable for me.

Not unless the machine gun noise comes through. That's more or less random and quite loud. You'll hear it

Re: WARSUG net
I would like to suggest Sunday evening again, using RVP this time (unless there's still somebody without 70cm?) with RLM as a backup (which doesn't appear to be echolink capable yet)
