ID-RP4000V, Motorola UHF diplexer and Icom 30A pwr supp. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Calibri color=#0000ff>The antenna will be of the Diamond variety
for now but eventually an RFI COL8 will go into service. Although a COL12 would
be nice to put up in the air, I don't think the piggy bank will stretch that
far! :-)</FONT></DIV>

Nik. Good to see some new D-STAR systems going up. Out of

up an running, I will post <BR>>a further message on this list to advise of
its status. My QRZ page <BR>>and the VK-Logger repeater listing for this
