KB7ZBN, in the foreground, was contacting Hams in the valley to test the simplex repeater. N7TBR in Boise ID, and N7IZT from Wilder ID both were able to get into the repeater and heard themselves (we had the system setup to record the transmission and then re-transmit back to the sender on 146.600Mhz). At this point we found that the volume was distorting the playback, so we adjusted the volume. After the adjustment, N7TBR and N7IZT both indicated that the sound was much better |
Stay tuned for the next test launch. |
