Mt. Thorodin Transmitter Died!

April 29, 2020 | Filed under: Uncategorized

We have a “not great, but bet­t­er than noth­ing” sol­u­tion, we are using a bac­kup trans­mitt­er on Lee Hill.

It trans­mits on 145.430MHz with an opt­ion­al 141.3Hz out­put tone.

This trans­mitt­er does NOT have frequen­cy paired re­ceiv­er, so you still need to trans­mit on 144.710MHz!

You can eith­er work split frequen­cies or have a very non-standard (-720Khz) of­fset whic­hev­er is eas­i­er for you and your radio.

This is a very tem­pora­ry and sub-optimal sol­u­tion. No need for sign­al re­ports, it isn’t going to be great.

Plans are under way to be ready to visit Mt. Thorodin hopeful­ly in about a month after a bit more snow melts.
