The pieces for this repeater
|
|
The 27 and 29 machines are generally linked by a wireless data line to provide wider local area coverage.
The 29 machine has Echolink access, (node 901400).
The 449.375 repeater is no longer a DMR repeater, it's back to FM and is connected to the WIN System.
We are in transition, and the Oro Valley Radio Club has offered us the use of their Repeater for our nets.

Ron, AA7RP, is the repeater coordinator.
If you notice an issue with the repeaters, please include the form to the right to let Ron know. If you have a photo which will help, please upload it using the upload tool. 4/10/2024 While using the .29 repeater, you may hear a hum. It’s not a problem with the repeater, it’s actually a PL tone on the transmit carrier. I was getting a lot of noise on the .29 frequency that would break through the squelch on my radios. Now by using a tone squelch of 107.2, the noise is effectively blocked. If you’re having the same problem, just turn on tone squelch in your radio on the .29 frequency. Ron, AA7RP |
