Maintenance Log

8/05/08 - Did a little work on the 147.15 Clarksville Repeater. Corrected a connection problem and put out a little mouse poison for the mice.

7/19/08 - We put up a new DB-224 antenna (courtesy of K4ZGA) at Cross Plains on 147.345. This repeater is working much better now and we're hearing some impressive reports from around the area. We increased the power out from 1 watt to about 25 watts.

2/22/08 - We've added another repeater on 147.345. We have plans to do some antenna work at this site as soon as the weather improves and we're anxious to see how well this repeater will work. It is linked to the 147.30 repeater in Gallatin, but we've installed frequency agile remote bases for flexibility. Currently, it's only running 1 watt while testing. More later.

07/01/06 - Well... Another first for Tennessee. Bryson, W4JYV and Bob, AF4TZ put on the first D-Star digital voice repeater. It's at 1700 ft elevation in West Nashville. This new technology is still in it's infancy, but seems to have excellent voice quality, linking capabilities, and works great.

9/3/04 - We installed a new RF deck ( transmitter / receiver) on 146.67.
and it taking a little while to re-route cabling and re-arrange equipment.
We apologize for occasional service interruptions, hum or music.
The old repeater is being reconditioned and will be a backup.

4/27/03 - 146.67 audio can now be heard on the Internet using 
RealPlayer.

10/21/02- IRLP has changed to 4 digit node numbers. See the 
Commands page for updates

2/3/02 - We replaced the router on the IRLP node. It

10/25/2001 - We put the Clarksville repeater back on the air on
145.41 MHz thanks to the cooperation of Mike, N4VIH who has
the frequency coordinated in the area. Thanks Mike !! We've still
got some work to do at that site.
