The repeater is operational with carrier squelch only. Talk-In sensitivity is excellent and exceeds the Talk-Out range of the repeaters 20W transmitter. If you have a typical 30W to 50W mobile you will get into the repeater better than you will be receiving it. Local portable coverage is very good.
An NHRC-2 controller is providing voice and CW id.
APRS telemetry is functional, although most packets don't make it to an iGate during the day and evening (since Saturday, March 1st, 2008). Seems the telemetry works fine overnight and stops at 7h to 9h in the morning. Suspect massive desense at the local digi VA3FOY during the day
