We now have the new Link Club repeater card operating our repeater with the two Tait radios. The repeater took a bit longer to get into operation as we needed to re-wire the two radios to work correctly with the controller card. Once the wiring was correct the configuration came together very quickly. Eric is still adding more programming to the card but it is fully operational now and does have better coverage than the old unit.
We still are waiting for a final power supply for the rack and a proper rack unit to house the controller card. At present it is wired together in a temporary fashion.
A Digital Voice Recorder is built into the card and is a lot of fun. It allows a single operator to record a short message for immediate playback, which enables one to do signal checks whenever desired.
