| 53.75 PL 167.9 Dave, N3NXC and myself, N3FE, went up to Tower Hill on May 7, 2009 and retuned his 6 meter receiver. The receiver is now opening up at .08 and seems to be doing quite well. Give it a try and let Dave know how it is working. 53.75/52.75 PL 167.9. |
444.600 PL 127.3 The 444.600 is currently at my house getting a new PA installed! The repeater's home is at Dutch Hill, West of Wellsboro just off of route 362. The repeater is housed at the County Facility and has emergency power. In the future this repeater will be running app_rpt and will have access to the allstar network... |
| 146.910 PL 127.3 I believe something is loose on the tower. It will just start getting crackles on the receive for some unknown reason. Nothing in the repeater is using double shielded coax so I know that isn't the issue. I am thinking the problem is on the tower. |
444.400 PL 110.9This is the newest addition to my repeater arsenal. The repeater is a GE EXEC II running 25 watts with the stock preamp. The repeater is using Asterisk app_rpt for it repeater controller which gives us tons of options that even the most expensive repeater controllers on the market can't. The repeater is normally connected to the WAN Repeater System (www.wanrepeater.com) covering Western PA down into Maryland and the DC area. The repeater uses a 110.9 PL tones for both encode and decode. |

More NewsI have decided to only work on my own equipment at this time. I am having fun with the 146.910, 442.850, and the 444.600 repeaters. I have received emails from people asking me to either service their repeaters or make changes. I don't want to be held responsible for other peoples equipment. Something happened where someone dropped off something at my house and it disapeared from my back porch. I don't ever remember seeing it. |
147.060 This repeater seems to be working quite well. They have added an additional receive on the Morris Fire Tower. They have also cleaned up all the antennas at the transmitter location and are down to just one omni directional UHF antenna for receive only. For more information on this repeater contact Dale WB3DLN, Phil KA3VRW, or Mike NM3O.

Happy New Year!
We have made some changes to the repeater system and things are working great! 442.850 is now up at Tower Hill near Jackson Summit and it has quite the coverage. It can be easily work in North Central, PA, the Finger Lakes of NY and the South Western PA of New York. This repeater requires the use of a 127.3 PL (encode/decode). The repeater also have a 32 channel VHF remote base on it that can be used as needed.
