Well, I guess I must be out of the loop on some things, I just can't see
what fun it is working through a repeater. I guess I'm from the old school.
I would think repeaters would be used for when line of site comunications
are out of the pix. Glad there are those things for the folks who like them
however. Cheers, have fun. Ed K7UC
