                                             Future Improvements


 

       *The repeater is operating on "carrier squelch" and will continue to operate in this mode unless I am forced to use CTCSS (tone) due to interference to the repeater. So far there has been no problems.

       * Install 60-watt amplifier.
 
       *Update the web-page as needed to reflect changes in the system and add some pictures!
