We went to the 31e Radiovlooienmarkt Rosmalen, Autotron and bought extra materials for our repeater. A rare thing to find is fingerstock. I bought a few strips of fingerstock from Robert Marmeggi, F1BFE. The fingerstock is used for our cavity experiment. Now we have to plan an date to continue our repeater experiment :)

Since a year we picked up our project due lack of time busy with our private lives and the most time consuming thing in the world, work... :) So, keep a close look when I update this environment.But we bought an Basic Stamp 2p for our repeater controller which we gonna design as well. Added extra pages and putting up the source code as well. It's simple to start but we gonna put a lot of need features on it later on. First things first, repeater should work first. Also find out that my Echolink is not working as it supposed to be. Hope I master this problem very soon.

Getting problems with my Kenwood TH-78e for my echolink experiment. An donation of pe1bsx with an Motorola GM900 is very welcome and thanks to him I have an replacement for my Kenwood TH-78e. Still working on it to connect the GM900 to the echolink part.

EchoLink is working, but not for 24 hours yet, because my Handheld trx is getting to warm at 500mW. It's an Kenwood TH-78e, it is old and maybe damage, it's reacting strange. We gonna look for a better TRX. But sometimes we can have fun with it now :)
