I just tested both with my 897 handheld from the parking lot at the Santa Maria EOC on W. Cook St.  I'll have to clean out the comm room now and re-establish vhf/uhf stations. :-)

The antenna for the K6TZ Santa Ynez Peak repeater on 145.18 was replaced today. As a result, its coverage is now vastly improved! 

If you haven’t yet, please take a moment to test your signal into this repeater and the new 446.400 repeater on La Cumbre Peak West. Both are standard negative offset, same PL 131.8. 

Together, these two repeaters have increased our systemwide coverage tremendously.
