Repeaters |
The club maintains several repeaters in Crawford County. All VHF and UHF club repeaters transmit a PL of 186.2 when a carrier is heard on the input. If you set your radio to receive in PL mode only this will make it easier to listen to the repeater. 145.13- is the main repeater transmitting from the Crawford County Fairgrounds, from a site owned and powered by the county. The repeater provides public service with skywarn communications for the National Weather Service's skywarn program, support to the county emergency services, red cross, and other public service organizations when they hold an event. This repeater is also the home to a nightly net at 9pm (except meeting nights and holidays). The purpose of the net is to test communications and pass traffic from the National traffic system. Long tone alerts are also available on this repeater. When in PL mode, a 186.2 hz tone is needed to access the machine and a morse code "s" will be used for the courtesy tone. At all times, the repeater transmits a 186.2 hz tone when carriers are received (this makes it easier to use cross band repeat or block out the various announcments the repeater conducts.
Here is a view from the Rt. 27 repeater site 444.075+ is one of the few UHF repeaters in Northwest Pennsylvania. It has a simple CARS morse code controller and broadcasts from a tower located on Radio Hill just outside of Meadville, PA. At times a PL of 186.2 is needed to access the system due to interferance and distant repeaters on opposite split pairs. When in the mode a morse code "s" is heard. 29.64- is currently off the air.
