VE7TSI AND VE7FUS Back in Service

Some recent work has been completed on the VE7TSI and VE7FUS repeaters (Coach Hills).

VE7FUS (448.525 - offset, PL 100 Hz) was taken down to repair a failing cooling fan.  That has been done and the repeater is back in service.  Note that the repeater can be used in both C4FM (Fusion digital) mode, or regular FM analog mode.  However, a PL tone of 100 Hz is required to access it in analog mode.  A 100 Hz PL tone is on the output as well, so anyone preferring not to hear digital signals (noise!) can enable that squelch system on their radio's receiver and hear only analog signals.

VE7TSI (147.18 + offset, PL 100 Hz) was taken down recently to swap the duplexers in use and tune the replacement set to minimize losses.  The work has been completed and the repeater is back in service.  This is also a C4FM (Fusion) repeater, configured to function in BOTH digital and analog modes.  Like VE7FUS, a PL tone of 100 Hz has been configured on both the receive and transmit sides of the repeater.  Therefore please modify your settings for VE7TSI to enable a 100 Hz PL tone on your transmitted signal, and on your radio's receive side as well if you prefer not to hear C4FM digital signals.

Now that both are back on the air, we would be interested in hearing where these repeaters can be heard, and more importantly, where they can hear you and be successfully utilized.
