For those in the group that are amateur radio operators using the DMR system in Knox and Sevier Co

Good morning folks. With the massive user growth happening in Knox/Sevier county, we are looking at possibly dropping the full time link between the Knoxville and Sevierville machines on Time Slot 1 to free up some capacity.

I have been asked by both repeater owners to get the general opinion of the userbase as to whether or not you all would think this is a good idea or not before we proceed with any changes, if any.

I realize not everyone is on Facebook, so please spread the word for those that do not utilize Facebook. They can also participate in this poll by sending an email to [email protected], please use the following format if utilizing that method:

subject:

Knox/Sevier county linking

body:

Your name and callsign (example: Stephen K1LNX)

yes, leave the link in place (or) no, please drop the link

Please ensure that if you use this method to format the email exactly as above as to ensure it is received correctly.

This poll is meant for users in the Sevier/Knox county area only, please don't participate if you do not use either of these repeaters on a regular basis.

We will leave this open until Monday November 2nd at 6 PM. I will be posting this poll on the next post, Facebook appears to have a character limit on "question" type posts.
