Found a hidden repeater

[LeoG]

By accident.  Apparently there is a 625 repeater that I know about, but he also has a 600 repeater I didn't know about.  My repeater operates on 600 with a PL of 100 and apparently his is on 103.5.  I can trigger his repeater on occasion when I key up. 

I noticed when I keyed up the other repeater would activate and it's a much stronger signal than mine.  It would block out mine for a second before it released.  One day I moved my TX PL and found it was only 1 click up from what I was using.  Not sure if my radio PL is wobbly or the selectivity of his repeater is lax.

Either way I've decided to change my PL to stop the interference.

Only thing I can say is it wasn't well hidden if it was that easy to find.

Not exactly hard to decode a repeaters tones whether they be analog or digital.  10-15 minutes running through the codes until the kerchunk is found.  This one was easy because it was only one tone above my own.  That's been changed.  The "hidden" repeater is largely unused as far as I can tell.  I've never heard activity on it.

not hidden,, was it just not registered on this volunteer site?

Wow.  A hidden gem.  It’s not every day you find some rando repeater that isn’t listed in this,  king of all listings,  repeater site.     Oh wait yes yes I use repeaters each and every day that are not listed on This site.

Looks like it is registered here.  Members Only. No tones listed
