HS-5 headphones —8 ohms– 150-4,000 Hz– ICOM specifies 8-16 ohm headphones for the IC-7300– and, upper range is 4,000 Hz which is high enough for voice but avoids higher frequency noise– no longer have my IC-7300

LARC Repeater Update

The LARC repeater system has been experiencing signal dropouts and noise for a number of weeks. The issue appears to be with the microwave link to the receivers and transmitters on Lee Hill.

A plan is in place to address this by relocating the microwave dish on the roof of the Justice Center to adjust the path slightly as the current path appears to be partially blocked by a tree a few blocks away.

There are some scheduling and parts issues that need to be resolved, so in the meantime, the systems on Lee Hill have been disconnected from the repeater system.

This has solved the dropout problem, but does reduce the coverage area of the repeater system. Stations outside of the coverage area of the Justice Center may not be able to get into or hear the repeaters at this time.

If you are having trouble, you can try the other repeater (2m or 70cm) and see if that’s any better, or use EchoLink to access the system.

Once the Lee Hill equipment is able to be brought back into the system, the larger coverage footprint should be restored.
