WB6FMT patches cover every prefex<br />
covered by the KA6AUI patch. We are<br />
also consfderfng the opening of the<br />
Ramona area to autopatch use. ff<br />
there is interest.<br />
We wfll probably keep our present<br />
autopatches on 147.13 in operatfon<br />
unt n the new system is up and<br />
workfng properly. The new system<br />
will probably be connected as<br />
follows: 1st 146.730. 2nd 449.425.<br />
and 3rd 147.13 wfth the possfbilfty<br />
of the 220 machine next year. Past<br />
experfence indfcates we will not<br />
move as fast as we would like to<br />
move but we are looking at Palomar<br />
Mountafn additions in September.<br />
146.730 connection fn October.<br />
449.425 in November and completion<br />
of the project by the end of 1991.<br />
Everything would move much more<br />
rapidly if we had more help •••and<br />
more slowly with problems or without<br />
help. Remember. all officers.<br />
trustees. and committee heads are<br />
volunteers and don't receive lc for<br />
work done! Everything is done<br />
during our ·spare time- with surplus<br />
equipment modified to work in the<br />
Ham bands.<br />
When the basic cost of a repeater<br />
is $30 for the transmitter and<br />
receiver. and the controller fs<br />
$150. you know we are taking the<br />
cheap way out with John-WB6IQS<br />
supplying the -know-how." Many<br />
clubs spend $1,500-$3.000 for the<br />
repeater and $2,000 for an<br />
intellfgent talking controller.<br />
That doesn't take into account<br />
filters and antennas. Autopatches.<br />
radios, fdentification. ff1ters, and<br />
antennas for autopatch systems could<br />
cost $1.000-2,000 for each patch<br />
($4,000-8,000 total for four<br />
patches) but so far we are operatfng<br />
at a fraction of that cost. Durfng<br />
the testing phase of the autopatches<br />
the club has been usfng equfpment<br />
supplf ed by Er fk-KA6UAI, Jerry<br />
WB6FMT, and items supplied by the<br />
PARC (ie., prefex filters, a<br />
telephone line, antenna, etc.) In<br />
tfmes of emergency the abi11ty to<br />
access the phone l1nes with 2-3<br />
phone connections reduces the<br />
possibility that an accident would<br />
completely sever us from all of the<br />
phone lines.<br />
Provisions are being made in the<br />
new system for the possible<br />
-dumping- of ALL unauthorized calls<br />
to SPECIFIC NUMBERS or CALL AREAS,<br />
and ALL calls made by non-members<br />
although you could still call up the<br />
patches for a non-member, if you<br />
-wanted to -do so •. The restriction of<br />
the patches to only club members is<br />
because we feel that club members<br />
will be more aware of the problems<br />
connected with the use of<br />
autopatches by their reading of the<br />
club newsletter, the SCOPE. At<br />
present we only restrict you to<br />
specific call areas and to specific<br />
telephone numbers that are abused.<br />
The priority on the "dump· feature<br />
IS NOT HIGH on our list but it could<br />
easily be moved up hfgher if we<br />
detect problems in the future.<br />

We are gett1ng a lot of -new<br />
hams" who are not familiar with<br />
amateur radio and this could<br />
possibly open us up to problems in<br />
the future on our repeaters and<br />
autopatches. We could issue each<br />
member his own personal access code<br />
but we would like to stay away from<br />
too many restrictions. Club members<br />
need to continue using the patches<br />
inte1l1gently within FCC ANO CLUB<br />
guidelines ••note the use of ·CLUB"<br />
guidelines. We not only want to be<br />
"LEGAL" but we want to be<br />
