VA7ICM DSTAR 2 Meter Module Still Off The Air.

Did a bit of testing with the ICOM technician today on the ICOM 2 meter DStar repeater today and the technician decided he was going to remove it and take it back to the shop. The delay will continue in getting it back into service. As soon as I have any more news to pass along I will let you know. The 440 module works fine.

Maybe you just want a radio check, maybe you have a question, maybe you just feel like reaching out to a fellow ham to bend their ear for a few minutes, or maybe you just want to let us know your OK.
