VK6AHR-3 on air (more or less)

Our club digipeater is now officially on air as of 14/8/2010
Due to the unavailability of the Tracker2, we decided to put up a temporary arrangement. Martin VK6ZMS has lent us his Kantronics KPC-3 (non plus, v8.2) which is connected to the radio we were intending to use. The KPC-3 doesn't support WX so that will come later. Everything seems to be working well considering the current antenna is a homemade j-pole at roof level. We have a good location. The Comet GP-5 hasn't been located at it's final position yet.
According to the Argent Data online purchasing whatsit, the Tracker2 is now available again. Watch this space.
