No autopatch if phone line busy

The other day I heard someone try to use the autopatch on the KB3OKL repeater, and it came up with gibberish audio. That means that the landline at the site is being used by another device (its a FAX machine that is rarely used). When this happens , shut it down with #, and just wait a few minutes and try again.

    Those are some nice meters that you have on the repeater. Are they from a ham with the call LY2KW in Lithuania?

    Yes I assume so, since his QSL card was included in the box when I got the meters. The web site that the Repeater Overview page points to is an eBay store, which I guess is his. He does have some great stuff, especially heavy-duty/military items.
