The LARC VHF and UHF repeaters are now operational at their new Justice Center location. The move took three days to dissassemble, erect new antennas, and re-assemble the repeaters at the new location. At this time the same components are in use, but a number of items including the controllers will be upgraded over the next few months. In addition, we hope that some final tuning should further improve performance. Please give the repeaters a workout and report any problems.

Following Joey’s great presentation on DMR, some questions were raised regarding our local variety of DMR networks, talk groups, color codes, time slots, and codeplugs. Is there a ‘local’ DMR repeater or do we always transmit all over Colorado. Can we run simplex on DMR? Can we use our DMR HT to talk around the world. When contacting others on DMR, why do we have to announce our talk group? And how do we program all this into the radio.
So this month we present ‘Explaining your DMR Radio; or how to setup and talk on DMR without annoying others and getting the DMR police on your tail…’
Join us for some practical examples of how to setup, and what to do and not do with your new DMR $100 radio.
The Emergency Preparedness presentation, originally planned for this date, by Ray, will be postponed to a future General Meeting
