Re: SV: not very reliable live
Hey Mark, it's Rick's Repeater, and yes, I was linked to a seq, but I'd
rehearsed the particular seq functions and deliberately stayed away from
those I knew caused any Repeater strangeness. -we'll see, I'll hopefully
have my gear back tomorrow, and will try it again. -but it shouldn't be a
problem...
Smiles,
CQ
