W4AQL:
  The repeater currently requires a 167.9 tone for access. I made this
change this evening from the console after I noticed that it had been
stuck keyed for almost an hour and a half with intermod and
interference; it was rebroadcasting some sort of music. I couldn't
discern the station or style.

  For those with deity-bits, I used the 206, 2, 27 sequence to turn on
decode. 206, 2, 0 (if I remember correctly) should undo it and put
things back as they were if you want to play.

**

  If I were to take an informal vote of people's opinions, I'm curious
as to how many people would object to or encourage the addition of an
input tone decode on the repeater. The tone would be the same (167.9)
as the output tone has been for a while. I don't really want to
generate a 30-message thread on the list, but if you have anything
worth discussing, please point it out. I'd like to keep it a totally
open machine, so we're going to explore other options before doing
this as a permanent solution. I'd change the ID to note the
tone if we had to keep it like this (i.e. "This is the W4AQL repeater.
167.9 tone" or so.)


Thanks,
