As we move into spring, tropospheric ductings effects begin to appear as noise again. The repeater is currently set to require tone squelch to bring it up but then only carrier to maintain access. Once its down for a bit, tone squelch is required again. If any noise becomes too annoying over a period of time I am willing to make it full time tone access through spring if there's a big push for removing the noise. Message from Jeff N1DJS
