Thanks to a lot of hard work by the Tech Team. VE3TJR which is located near Buckhorn, on Deer Bay is now Linked to the network full time via Allstar.
The Yaesu DR-1X Repeater running at 15 watts, has been replaced by a commercial Motorola MTR2000 running at 40 Watts. This should greatly increase coverage of the cottage area, including handheld use on buckhorn lake.
The duplexer has been sucessfully finetuned to decrease loss.
A cell phone modem, and MikroTik Router have been installed to link the repeater via Allstar for now until the completion of the HamNET Project. The equipment has been successfully moved into a 2 post rack, that was donated last year in preparation for the installation of equipment from the Selwyn Fire Department.
Getting TJR to this point has been a multi month project. With donations of Equipment, and funds from members, the new repeater was purchased with funds from the spring donation program. We thank all members for their contributions. We would also like to thank Selwyn, and Selwyn FD for the continued use of this site for emergency communications.
