- Reinstalled the MICOR Motorola TLD1692B 100W PA (Gary VE7EIY helped test this last working PA from the collection of PA's we had in the storage trailer) this PA was configured for 80W output but without a power meter on site I cannot confirm the final installed Power Level
- Reinstalled the repaired Coax Relay Panel that switches between the Daniels 30W PA and the MICOR Motorola TLD1692B 100W PA
- Tested the AC Mains failure mode ... when the AC mains fails, the COAX relays automatically select the Daniels 30W PA and DC power is completely removed from the 100W PA ... this is done to provide minimum drain on the Batteries during any power outage
- The normal configuration is expected to be using the 100W PA however due to an issue with the RCL4 connection codes, the Daniels 30W PA is currently selected ... the 100W PA can still be selected should the Daniels fail, however the current RCL4 connection code appears to also link in the SIRG network which wasn't expected.
- the complete RCL4 configuration will be mined and if needed corrected the next opportunity we have to get to the site
- the RCL4 Control Chip will be replaced either once the Ski Season starts or wait until next spring
