Reason for two radios
« on: Apr 20, 05, 09:39:42 AM »
So here is why, it's important to have a back up frequncy available. Last night from commute time until 11:00 when I stopped checking, the Table Mt. 2 meter repeater was down.

The 220 was up and working fine!

Is that because mosquitos prefer the 220 band? :)

I was hoping that the Yaesu 2m included a miller moth repeller.

We've already got some of those pests flying around.

Then you wouldn't have had any students in class.

Well, maybe except for Mike!
