Rhonda Update
Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2008 7:15 amRhonda stopped transmitting last Tuesday pm, so I went up on Friday expecting the worst (you know what can happen to a young, single female all alone) This is what I saw:
OK, so no one's been messing around, and everything looks OK. I did some checking and found the encoder
had failed. This is the device that converts the data from the weather station to audio for transmitting over the radio. I have ordered a replacement, as well as a similar unit from another company. I'll check them out when they arrive and put the best suited unit back into Rhonda. With luck, this will be complete by the SCPA meeting on Sunday. Meanwhile, if you want to send a card, or flowers, or even chocolates, that will help Rhonda to feel better.
