<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>I set the
new repeater in place last week. However, there are cabling and interface
issues with the controller that we are trying to overcome. Joe is making
a new interface cable and he has ordered a new set of extension cables that
will make setting up the new machine and working on it easier in the tightly
confined space that we have to work in. I appreciate his help with
this. The new cables should be in later this week and we will try to
connect and test again toward the end of the week if all works out. I
will follow-up with another message about the new repeater soon.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
