The 146.61 repeater has had some technical difficulties with its' transmitter. It could be that "the heat got it" during the heat wave. We had it checked and it has a bad power amplifier, please bear with us. We are checking for spare parts and / or a replacement repeater. 73

Try out our new repeater on 442.000 a + off set with no pl tone. Let us know how it works  for you!
