88 Sellersville: WB3BJE/R has been up and running
since the beginning of April 2003. The temporary package is a Motorola Radius
repeater running with no hang time. On Tuesday, October 7, 2003 the new GE
MASTR II package was put into operation along with the NHRC Repeater Controller
and it's accessories.The package is running 50 watts (by design) has a sensitivity
of approximately .12uV. The time-out timer is 30 seconds (default) and there
are three ID's programmed......initial, regular and CW. There is still work
to be done including a different antenna, different physical location and
some programming on the controller. We plan to install the unit along with
it's backup package and duplexer in a Motorola outdoor, weather-proof, cabinet.
