There's no one else on our repeater right now, but mine appears to be  
working fine as well (although I see the same transmit indicator  
issue).  I'm going to switch over to listening on REF1c and watch the  
locations come in now.

Thanks for all the hard work Dan and Robin!  You're just in time for  
DCC. I recall talking with the two of you about this at last year's  
DCC and it's awesome to see it working.
