Repeater Issues. The repeater was down for a bit due to a power supply failure. It is now working, but still has a power supply problem. This may be the cause also of the noise on the repeater. The power supply will be replaced this weekend with a new one, and that should solve the problems. Please bear in mind that we are aware of the problems that occur, and work to resolve them as soon as we are able, given other commitments, cost, etc. We are doing our best to keep The K4ORE repeater providing great coverage and service to the area.
