Irma, KM6JVU replied to the topic Repeater out in the forum
General 5 months, 3 weeks agoLinda/Angelo please correct me if I’m misunderstanding this: Based on the last version of the SC4ARES Field Reference Guide, if the repeater for CMD31 is not operational, the 440 (CMD32) then becomes the backup. If an operator is outside of the CMD32 coverage area, then they should use the CMD31 in simplex mode.

General 9 months, 2 weeks agoJeneen, are you taking the beginner class again or moving on to the intermediate?
Eva, there are apps to listen and learn on your phone, but to actually learn keying you need a couple pieces of equipment (paddle and electronic meter).
Hmm… sounds like this could be an interesting Tech Training for a club meeting!
