I took one of the radios back to install in my work truck so I had to disconnect the temporary crossband repeater.

The plan is to setup a permanent RF link between it and VE7RXZ (147.220 + T100.0) in Nanaimo, but until then, I setup a <a href="https://scarcs.ca/links/xband#kt-8900" class="wikilink1" title="links:xband" data-wiki-id="links:xband">cheap crossband repeater</a> to link both repeaters. I plan on turning it on during the day when I'm around the house (and off at night or when I'm away from the house).
</p>
<p>
So those in the Roberts Creek area might find it easier to get into the repeater through VE7SCK.

<p>
I find that there's very little delay, but it's safer to leave a short pause before speaking after you first press the PTT since it could take a few micro seconds for the link to decode the tones and all that.
