Centerpoint advised the the power will be out from 8 am to 2 pm. The 94 repeater does have back-up battery power but it will only last approximately 4 hours. You can tell when the repeater is on battery back-up since there will be a beep in the middle of the person that is talking's audio. The repeater will be left on to test how long it will operate on the batteries. If the Stir Crazy net is held, please be aware of the repeater possibly shutting in the middle of the NET.
