| Reinstallation of the VE1CDN Repeater |
| Neil VE1YZ, Lorne VE1BXK and Brad VE1ZX returned the VE1CDN VHF/UHF repeater to service on Jan. 10,2008. Both the VHF and UHF MSR2000 repeaters were interfaced using the updated MSR2000 procedure by Lorne VE1BXK. Brad VE1ZX assisted in the interfacing and configuration of these two repeaters. The RLC-1 repeater controller was updated with the ADM (Audio Delay Module) on both the VHF and UHF ports. A complete realignment of both repeaters was done for both on the TX and RX sections. RX Audio and TX transmit deviation levels were also completed. A Decibel VHF DB-4060 VHF duplexer was tuned using the IFR-2975 in conjunction with Eagle return loss Bridge. Of course, all of this work was conducted in "Brad's Basement"as you have just seen in the photos above. 73 Lorne VE1BXK |
