Greetings- I thought your reply was interesting. I for one only voted once and I could say the same thing about packet voters but I believe the vast majority of amateurs are honest enough to vote only once. We are both biased towards our own interests, I guess this is how negotiations work, hi. Well, anyway, please try to provide ample time for crossband repeat using the existing equipment. Thanks, pat n2oeq

I would be very wary of that poll providing any useful data since it was set up so that anyone could vote numerous times. The results are very likely skewed.

In the long term, I expect the crossband repeater function will be enabled more often (maybe full time?) once the complete compliment of hardware is on board. The current operations are base on available hardware and crew interest.

Numerous procedures and even a quick reference guide for both radio systems are available for the crew to use should they be interested.
