[OZAPRS] Melbourne APRS Repeater

[Tony King]

Hi Warren,
Just a one or two stage 2m unit, size shape and form factor are not a 
problem. We just have to keep out the VK3RYV voice repeater and stop 
desensing from all the other tx's on the hill top. The calculations for 
the site show we shouldn't cause any problems to the other receivers up 
there.

                                                        Regards Tony VK3API
