A group of club members upgraded the 147.315 repeater to a Yaesu DR-2X with a external power amplifier.
The new repeater will not announce the time and does not have a courtesy tone.
It will ID:K8MDH/R in CW.
You may hear a burst of digital noise occasionally from the repeater this can be stopped by setting the CTCSS to T-SQL with a tone of 100hHz on your radio.
Also the 443.150 repeater has been taken off the air.
Autopatch had also been disabled.
