 +====== Temporary VE7SCK Crossband Link DISCONNECTED======
 +
 +===== Dec 24, 2021 =====
 +I took one of the radios back to install in my work truck so I had to disconnect the temporary crossband repeater.
 +
 +===== July 2021 =====
 +{{  links:xband:kt8900corssband.jpeg?350}}A few weeks ago, [[/blog/2020-11-21/ve7sck_update |VE7SCK (442.650 +  T100.0)]] was finally connected to its new antenna.  The plan is to setup a permanent RF link between it and VE7RXZ (147.220 + T100.0) in Nanaimo, but until then, I setup a [[/links/xband#kt-8900 |cheap crossband repeater]] to link both repeaters. I plan on turning it on during the day when I'm around the house (and off at night or when I'm away from the house).
 +
 +So those in the Roberts Creek area might find it easier to get into the repeater through VE7SCK. 
 +
 +I find that there's very little delay, but it's safer to leave a short pause before speaking after you first press the PTT since it could take a few micro seconds for the link to decode the tones and all that.
