Hi Mike, I got sidetracked onto another project, but I will definitely follow up on this. Thanks for the information!

Thanks Brian - I'll listen on 145.350.

Hello Brian, Thanks for your work on this. I thought that perhaps my handheld was not generating the DTMF codes correctly. I was able to record the DTMF codes into an audio file and then input the file to a spectrum analyzer program that I found on the Internet. The frequencies look correct. Based on that, and the fact that others have experienced problems, it looks like my handheld is OK. I'll be away for the next two weeks (won't be at the December meeting) but after that, if there is any way that I can help, please let me know. Jack VE3UKD

No responses to my last post - I would really appreciate some help here! I tried once again to work VA3XOR in Dorset. He was able to link from a repeater in Dwight to the Aurora repeater (IRLP 2920) and I copied his transmissions by listening to the Aurora repeater on 147.225 MHz. However, when I responded on 147.825 MHz, he did not hear me. When I try to initiate the IRLP link from my end, I get dead air when I link to Dwight IRLP 2460, and a voice error message when I link to Dwight IRLP 2203, just as described in my previous post. Any news about the status of the Aurora repeaters would be appreciated. Jack VE3UKD
