Well, its about time.
Anyone have a breakdown of total US repeaters between the two companies?
What about some repeaters in Toronto, Canada?
And what about traffic/weather in Toronto?
We need it here too, almost 10,000,000 people in the Toronto area.
Good. My repeater reception is LA isn't very good. It's not always easy to position a satradio in your home in such a way to make access to signal via the antenna doable.
