IRLP node 6000 was switched over to our 2m repeater this evening, and some initial tests performed. It does seem that there may be a minor issue with some apparent dropouts when the node is transmitting, which from our basic tests so far could be caused by the CTCSS tone being transmitted by the node being slightly off frequency, causing the repeater to intermittently lose the input signal for a fraction of a second. Other than this minor issue everything seems fine, and the node is open for business.
At this stage the node has not been configured to perform any broadcasts or join any nets - we'll probably leave this until after the minor issue detailed above has been resolved.
Please remember to follow the basic IRLP usage guidelines, but most of all, HAVE FUN!
