100Hz PL tone no longer required.
Members of the club voted to disable the 100Hz PL tone on the K2JJI Repeater (-146.70Mhz). This was done so operators that are either not yet familiar with their radios or have radios that do not produce a 100 Hz tone could still check in to the NET. Thanks Andrew (K1YMI) for taking care of this.
